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.鲍尔斯以鲜艳的色彩和织物的质地，描绘了一颗经历四季变幻的梨树，书中有20多个折页画，有些隐藏得很巧妙，孩子的小手必须沿着页面摸索才能找到。一首简单的诗讲述了这棵树的故事：“夏日来临，金色的太阳 / 从东方升起。/小小梨树，满怀骄傲，上演璀璨的盛宴。”在树叶和水果后面隐藏着很多惊喜：一只甲壳虫，几只雏鸟，一只在妈妈身旁啃地的小鹿。
