Bowers’s brilliantly colored, textile-like paintings of a pear tree in the changing seasons incorporate dozens of flaps, some so subtly placed that little hands will have to feel their way across the page to find them all. A simple verse tells the tree’s story: “As summer comes, the golden sun / arises in the east. / The little pear tree, filled with pride, puts on its glorious feast.” Behind leaves and fruit lurk surprises: a beetle, fledgling birds and a fawn nibbling at the ground near its mother.鮑爾斯以鮮艷的色彩和織物的質地，描繪了一顆經歷四季變幻的梨樹，書中有20多個折頁畫，有些隱藏得很巧妙，孩子的小手必須沿著頁面摸索才能找到。一首簡單的詩講述了這棵樹的故事：“夏日來臨，金色的太陽 / 從東方升起。/小小梨樹，滿懷驕傲，上演璀璨的盛宴。”在樹葉和水果后面隱藏著很多驚喜：一只甲殼蟲，幾只雛鳥，一只在媽媽身旁啃地的小鹿。
