This book is about heartless man named Bibot who comes into possession of two magic figs from an elderly patient he was cruel to. He was angered by her payment until he realized the figs were actually real and that they could make his dreams come true if eaten. He instantly tries to dream of wealth, but not everything goes according to plan and he gets a taste of revenge. I really enjoyed this book because I have always liked when mean people get what they deserve. I loved the eerie undertones, and the fantastic illustrations. Everything really came to life for me in this book. The Sweetest Fig is about a mean and selfish dentist named Bibot who receives two "magic figs" from a patient of his. Although he was angry the patient did not pay in money, he soon realized that eating one of the figs caused his dream from the night before to come true. Long story short, the story ends with Bibot's dog (who is treated poorly by Bibot) eating the fig and Bibot and his dog switching bodies! I really enjoyed this read not only for the story but also the illustrations. They were not popping colors but it helps creates the theme of the book which is kind of dark and mysterious. Excited to do my author/illustrator study on Van Allsburg sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Monsieur Bibot, el dentista, recibe con enfado dos higos como pago de una mujer pobre que le dice que esas frutas pueden hacer sus suenos realidad. Esa noche, antes de dormir, Bibot se come uno de los higos, que resulta delicioso. A la manana siguiente, saca a pasear a Marcel, su perro, que no vive muy a gusto en la impecable y ordenada casa de Bibot. Misteriosamente, descubre que el higo hizo realidad su sueno, y se propone guardar el segundo, sin saber lo que le depara el destino. Una superba historia, con multiples lecturas y una delicada ironia que versa sobre el verdadero valor de los suenos y los deseos. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

And I know there is an allegory in here somewhere. But it's really hard to find. ( )
