Destined to become a contemporary classic, this board book has spare text and sweet illustrations but contains only five words: apple, pear, orange, bear--and there.

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.
