Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1-Whoever said you can never have too much of a good thing should check with Pamela. This Holstein has a hankerin' for pears-stewed, fresh off the tree, or baked in a pie. She will do almost anything to satisfy her craving, including climbing a tree for better picking. Amy, her family, and friends fear that no one else will get any of the favored fruit. Various means of keeping the bovine away from the pears fail until the girl comes up with the best idea-simply give Pamela all she wants. Whatley's wonderful color illustrations show a dainty cow, politely but quite determinedly helping herself to the love of her life. Large pictures across spreads with clean white backgrounds and simple text create a humorous tale, perfect for storytime sharing. Facial expressions on humans and cow are priceless. Pamela, with her large body and small head, is drawn in a folk-art style, and has two easily identifiable "birthmarks" on her black-and-white hide: one is a heart and the other, which is not revealed until the last page, gives readers insight into her future passion. A real winner.

Great Illustrations and Fun Story
This is a fun book for toddlers. The illustrations are large, colourful and amusing. The story is silly and fun for young children. It comes in various languages, which is great for bilingual families and others wishing to read the story in 2 different languages. I've purchased this book for others, and I highly recommend it.
Simply delightful reading
The collaborative effort of Jackie French and Bruce Whatley, Too Many Pears! is an appealing, cartoon-style picturebook about a strong-willed and clever cow who loves pears, and will go to great lengths to get them. A young girl must find a way to curb the animal's insatiable appetite! Simply delightful reading, the whimsical color illustrations add an exuberant touch to this charming tale.
