Orange Pear Apple Bear

A breathtaking book marked out by its utter simplicity. By rearranging just four words, Emily Gravett creates a set of playful and intensely satisfying images: a sheer joy to behold. Now available in a durable board book format, this is a humorous and quirky delight from an author-illustrator who has twice won the coveted Kate Greenaway Medal. The loose energy of the pencil and watercolour pictures, bringing to life the bemused expressions of an affable bear, will be irresistible to adults and children alike.

“It should be handed out at birth. The perfect book to read aloud to babies.” Guardian

“This book is daring, original and a joy.” Sunday Express

“Hold it in your hands and know that you’re in the presence of greatness… Surreal, clever and enormous fun.” Bookseller
