The Sweetest Fig By Chris Van Allsburg

Bibot is a fussy, organized man who likes everything to be on time and tidy. He is also a dentist. One day while closing shop, an old lady asks Bibot to pull her tooth. Bibot finally says yes, just this once. Instead of paying with money, she pays with two figs that she says will make Bibot's dreams come true. Of course Bibot doesn't believe her...I mean would you? Bibot goes home mad--very mad. Right before he goes to bed, he eats the first fig. Read The Sweetest Fig to find out if the lady was telling the truth.

I recommend this book for upper elementary kids.
