Is this a pear? No, it’s a bear!


This delightfully clever picture book is full of visual tricks and rhyming reveals to inspire wonder while making you chuckle – brought to life by an Oscar-nominated animator and based on his seven-year-old son's original idea and drawings!


Through the hole in the page, you might see a plum . . . or a spider . . . or a spoon. But turn the page to see the full picture and – SURPRISE! – it's something unexpected: the moon, a tiger, even a hippo’s bum!


This deceptively simple picture-book debut by father-and-son duo Dan and Finn Ojari uses bold, stylish art, rhyming call-and-response text, and clever cut-through holes that play with shape and colour to create a deeply satisfying read-aloud experience for children of two and up and their adults.

'With Is This a Plum? Ojari shows that he is a talented new star on the picture book scene’ – Children’s Book of the Month, The Bookseller.

About Dan Ojari

Dan Ojari is an Oscar-nominated director and writer, alongside making children's books
and the occasional wooden spoon. As a boy, his mum home-educated him and his four siblings,
which meant he could spend a lot of time drawing and dreaming. Dan now lives in Bristol,
working at Aardman Animations by day and by night is often reading a book with his wife,
two sons and identical black cats.
