Destined to become a contemporary classic, this book has spare text and sweet illustrations but contains only five words: <I>apple</i>, <I>pear</i>, <I>orange</i>, <I>bear</i>--and <I>there</i>. Emily Gravett creates clever variations on this theme by rearranging the words--on one spread, a brown bear juggles an orange, apple, and pear; on another spread, there is an orange-colored apple and a pear-shaped bear. Simple and compelling, children will enjoy reading this book over and over again as they learn many different concepts.
