A pear-picking problem in the fall garden

Autumn brings a backyard harvest of apples, tomatoes, and pears, along with Mr. Putter’s particular wish for pear jelly. Cranky legs make climbing for the fruit difficult, so the story turns on the solution he devises. The simple dilemma links everyday physical limitations with resourcefulness, while the garden harvest and homemade jelly give the tale a distinctly seasonal focus.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous stories about everyday problems and clever solutions.
  • Young readers interested in gardens, fruit, and seasonal harvests.
