21,600The Pear is Extra Sweet

A young boy goes out to the world, and what does he encounter…? Exciting discoveries await young eyes everywhere – in the back yard, on the street, and in the view out of their window: the row of ants marching by the house is a wonder; the tree bearing fruit is a new sight; and a pile of dry leaves is an opportunity for extraordinary fun! The Pear is Extra Sweet accompanies the youngest readers on their journey as they discover the world, providing text and images for their experiences. It invites the older readers to slow down a little, join their toddlers, and view the world from their curious, fresh perspective. The suggestion to open our eyes and "read" the great, wide world of every child was made by Janusz Korczak in his writings:   I have read interesting books. Now I am reading interesting children… For the child is an entire world, which has existed for a long time and will exist forever.  [Janusz Korczak, The Religion of the Child, translated by Zvi Arad, Beit Lohamei Hagetaot Publishing]
