Picture Book Review: Too Many Pears! by Jackie French
Reviewed by Sally Murphy

How can Pamela be stopped?






Pamela the cow loves pears. She loves them so much she will stop at nothing to get to them - even if it means crawling through a wombat hole or towing a tree behind her.

Unfortunately, Pamela's pear obsession means there are no pears left for the people. Something has to be done to stop Pamela eating all the pears.

Too Many Pears is the latest humorous offering from renowned author-illustrator team, Jackie French and Bruce Whatley. Like so many of French's books, the story revolves around food and animals, yet, as always, this story is unique. Whatley's illustrations bring the tale to life, with the cow's facial expressions a true delight.

Excellent.
