A Pair of Pears and an Orange

‘A duo of pears adjusts to a new playmate… Using humorous wordplay, the text sends the message there’s always room for one more, a concept reinforced by the droll, quiet illustrations… A mindful, whimsical lesson in inclusivity.’
—Kirkus Reviews

‘[A] sweet story, ripe with fruity puns and adorable illustrations that subverts the old adage that ‘two’s company and three’s a crowd.’ A simple colour scheme with minimal detail puts the focus on the story, but the black line limbs and facial expressions on the characters add a lot of appeal.’
—Youth Services Book Review

‘This is an entertaining and gently educational tale, perfect for reading aloud with early primary school-aged kids who may be feeling jealousy around newly formed friendships and changing group social dynamics.’
—Ellen Cregan, Books + Publishing

‘Parents and children alike will be delighted by the adorable illustrations … It might be a story about fruit, but it’s an infinitely relatable one.’
—Prudence Wade, Independent
