Impecunious Walter's apple tree won't bloom. After he wishes for just one apple, he gets it--with a vengeance: it grows too big to sell. When a hungry dragon comes on the scene, Walter's fortunes change. Readers will appreciate the rustic-looking illustrations and root for the mustachioed Walter, who is favorably reminiscent of the beleaguered peddler in Caps for Sale.
