Little Pear

by Eleanor Frances Lattimore

Overview

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.
