Customer Reviews

Fantastic book!
Each Peach Pear Plum is one of the BEST "I spy!" books ever! It has very simple text and beautiful pictures with characters that are familiar to young and old. Our son is almost 21, but we remember how much he LOVED this book and we all still know it by heart. It makes a wonderful gift for all of the little people in your lives. Amazon carries the "chubby board book" version which is great because then it can be carried around without being destroyed.

Each Peach Pear Plum
This book is beautifully illustrated and a joy to read. The rhyming language used throughout is enjoyed by young children being read to. Once they start reading for themselves, the young reader enjoys the wordplay and beat of the rhymes. Finding the characters is fun, even after many readings. The firmer pages aids in the life of the book, especially for the very young reader just learning to turn pages.
I enjoyed reading this book to my children, and it was one of my 'must haves' once I became a grandmother. Both of my grandchildren (3.5 years and 18 months) enjoy it with me.

My Favorite Childhood Book
This book is very special to me, its great for kids headed to kindergarten. Its easy to read and adds a twist by having the child find something hidden on each page. I just bought it for my daughter, after I, twenty years ago, turned it in for a school book drive. I love it and would recommend it to anyone with a child.
