review 1: I loved the simple, whimsical illustrstions of Catherine Rayner. It is unique and fun. The story, however, was quiet and simple. I liked the simple story of Bear waiting patiently for the last fruit on the tree. The message of patience, kindness, and sharing are all wonderful attributes of this book. But in this age of picture books where quirky, unique story lines dominate, I felt this book was slight and predictable. Yet, I have to point out Rayner's mastery of beautiful language intertwined throughout the story: " They clamored closer to the plorringe," " It smelled of honey and sunny days," "He shared the delicious, sun-kissed, soft-as-cotton-candy...". Although this is something I may not keep in my personal library, I still think this would make a lovely gift f... moreor young children learning to share.
review 2: Norris is a wise old bear who waits patiently for a plorringe to fall from the tree. Tulip and Violet, a raccon and mouse, also want the plorringe but aren't as patient as wise old Norris. With the help of Norris, they all get some plorringe plus a friend. Good story that could be great for a lesson on values like patience, sharing, and kindness. I loved Tulip and Violets curiosity over the plorringe, although I thought choosing a "plorringe" as a fruit was slightly confusing. Outstanding illustrations! The composition and expression are so unique that you could just look at the pictures all day. less
