Book Reviews of Little Pear (Odyssey Classics (Odyssey Classics))
Book Review: Little Pear Made Memories
Summary: 5 Stars
I read many, many books, including the Little Pear books, to both our girls when they were little. Little Pear is an endearing (and enduring) character, and the stories are sweet and uncomplicated. Despite his being from another time and another place, small children can easily identify with the title character, his feelings, and his adventures.
I found out today what a big impression Little Pear made on our older daughter. She is on her way back from a college semester abroad, and an unexpected flight delay is keeping her in Beijing for two days. She called me this morning, excited about all the sights she'd seen, but as much as anything else she's excited about having bought "tang-hulurs" from a street vendor ("Just like Little Pear!"). They're some sort of sweets on a stick, mentioned in the books-- a special treat enjoyed by the title character and his friends. I think it's pretty cool that among all the stories we read, that particular image from my daughter's childhood is not only still remembered, but remembered with such warm enthusiasm. In my opinion, that's as good as it gets!
Summary of Little Pear (Odyssey Classics (Odyssey Classics))
Little Pear is a young boy who lives in a small village in China. Although his story takes place long ago, he is much like any little boy today--always on the lookout for excitement and adventure!
Little Pear is just looking for fun, but he has a knack for finding trouble without even trying! Join him as he stows away to the fair in a wheelbarrow full of vegetables, nearly flies away on a kite, has a mishap with a firecracker, and is rescued from the river by a houseboat family.
