Nap time, snack time, or any time of day is the right time to surprise your toddler with this delightful book about an adorable, playful bear. Bear magically takes on the shapes & colors of three familiar fruits as he juggles, balances, and finally devours them.Orange, Pear, Apple, Bear by Emily Gravett is cleverly written and beautifully illustrated. I love the simplicity of this book, not only for the graceful illustrations but in the way Gravett repeats just five words (four of which are in the title) to create a story appealing to toddlers as well as beginning readers. Talk about the pictures and have your child practice their narrative skills by retelling the story in their own words. Read the story before a trip to the grocery store and play a game of finding and naming the three fruits bear eats. Or set up a tea party with your child's favorite teddy bear and real fruit snacks and let your child read the story to his bear.
