Are We Pears Yet? is a fantastically punny book about two seeds waiting to become pears. Illustrated as though they're on stage and acting out what's to come, Paul's and Berger's work makes for a hilarious way of learning more about pear growth cycles. It's informative, funny, stylistically chic, and overall one of the best non-fiction books for children I've read this year.

Super cute informative story about the growth of pears. Love the pear puns and the spin on “are we there yet”
I don’t really think the theatre aspect added anything to the overall story but I can appreciate it nonetheless.

So much of life is about waiting. We want to hurry things along to get to the 'good part". Are We Pears Yet does a great job of talking about the steps that each pear seed needs to go through before becoming pears. This would be a great addition to a nature unit, or a unit on soft skills (waiting your turn, manners, etc.)

Just . . . weird. The science is really mixed up and confusing (for adults, let alone children) so it's not a good choice for any kind of 'life cycle'/STEM storytime. Also, why is the 'male' pear the one who knows everything and the 'female' pear the dumb one? Just no.

Silly book about how seeds grow into trees. Good for younger elementary readers, although they miss some of the humor.

Two pears put on a production of two seeds waiting and growing (and wondering how much longer they have) until they're pears. The end was pretty hilarious, too. lol
