More About Little Pear is the fourth in a series of stories about Little Pear, a mischievous little Chinese boy in old China in the early 1900s. The first book in the series was Little Pear, followed by Little Pear and his Friends, Little Pear and the Rabbits, and finally this book, More about Little Pear.  Little Pear was immediately popular, and is often called a “modern children’s classic.”  It is noted for its simple and direct writing style, and has been enjoyed by children in many countries.  The author and illustrator Eleanor Frances Lattimore published 58 books and was one of the 20th Century’s leading writers of children’s books.  This book is a little longer than the first Little Pear and is written for a slightly older child.  The author’s style is simple and direct, much of the story consists of dialog, and the text is supported by the author’s lovely illustrations.  We hope you enjoy reading More About Little Pear.  The cover of the first edition contains the following review:  “Eleanor Lattimore seems to be able, in book after book, to write simply, sensitively, and with due attention to detail, about children who have interesting adventures.  She depicts these with charm and freshness so that they always seem immediate and important.”                                --- Young Readers’ Review

More About Little Pear.

Morrow

This second edition of Storm on the Island is a revised and edited version of a classic story about a family living through a hurricane on the Carolina coast. It was pitch black outside.  A storm was roaring over the little sea island where Rose Ann and her family lived.  The house shook in the wind but it was still standing when at last the storm was over.  Fields were flooded and the crops ruined by salt water  Worst of all, the causeway to the mainland had been washed away and they were cut off from supplies.  Rose Ann minded the baby, Paul caught fish to eat, and they all managed to help another family marooned by high water.  But when it was all over, and Paul and Rose Ann realized that they had lived through a hurricane, things seemed different and they somehow felt more grown up.  Eleanor Frances Lattimore's delightful drawings illustrate the story.  (Text taken from the front flap of the dust jacket on the first edition of this book. )
