Age level: PreK Primary (K-2)
Summary:
This is a classic picture book which just plays on the meaning of the title- or four simple words. It repeats the words multiple times and illustrates their different use every time. There is no definite storyline.

Strengths:
The book does a good job of rotating the words and having matching illustrations of their new order and meaning. There are some great pictures and it is a great book for young readers to learn what apples, oranges, pears, and bears are.

Concerns:
The repetition limits the book into a certain category of really young readers, and does not challenge others. Some of the ideas that are put together of “pear bears” and other such things are a little silly and may not be the best choice for certain readers. The ending also seems a little sudden and strange for younger children. The book is okay but it is not one of my first picks.

Classroom use/Other comments:
It would be a great book to use when teaching reading and/or writing. It gives them plenty of practice with the same words. It is also a nice easy book to read for fun.
