Pear

Said Mother Pear: "Dear me! Those twins

Are just as much alike as pins;

I must do something, I declare!"

So she cut little sister's hair.

Assemble a mini doll sized book: Right, is the Pear's illustration and verse. Visitors can collect all the vegetable illustrations and verse from "Mother Earth's Children" to print and construct a small book of verse for their dolls. Simply drag each png. into a Word Document, print, cut out all of the images the same size and staple the pages together at the left edge. Squeeze out some white school glue along the stapled edge of the pages and attach a cardboard cover.

 Pear
In Western Asia I was bred,
And news of me so quickly spread;
Of fruits I'm now the fourth in rank
The skill of France I have to thank.
And now my worth the whole
world knows,
Glad of my flower when Springtime
blows.
