Orange Pear Apple Bear

Perfectly simple,'Orange, Bear, Apple, Pear' is a book of few words: just five words in fact. However, the beautifully expressive illustrations are very special indeed. For the youngest of children, the repetition of the key words will have them 'reading' along in no time. Through careful pairing and reordering of the title words, many different scenarios have been created: from the joy of a bear juggling an orange, apple and pear; to a rather ridiculous pear-shaped bear holding an apple and an orange - the possibilities are truly endless. Finally, in the last few pages, the Bear eats the fruit ending the story on 'There!'. Each page is unique, engaging and charming whilst putting a funny twist on the title, which will have your little ones laughing. Children will be captivated by the simplicity of this 'story' and once they picked up the pattern of words, they will be finishing the 'story' for you. This wonderful little book is sure to become a firm favourite - A classic in the making. Picture book / Ages 0+ / Reviewed by Torie Walton, teacher.
