Orange Pear Apple Bear
Using just the title four words (until the final ‘There!’) the author sustains a humorous commentary on the actions of a large bear. Chameleon-like, the bear seems to take on the shapes and colours of the fruits of his desires as he toys, frolics and feasts on them. A very cleverly crafted amalgam of words and watercolour pictures, perfect for early reading which can be enjoyed over and over again.
