Bookroo's summary

In a quaint Chinese village, Little Pear's thirst for adventure knows no bounds. With his best friend Big Head, he embarks on thrilling escapades—ice fishing, pretending to be a beggar, and even encountering a tiger at home. But the biggest surprise awaits as he welcomes a new little brother. What mischief will Little Pear find next?

From the publisher

Little Pear is a young boy who lives in a small village in China. Although his story takes place long ago, Little Pear is much like any little boy today–always on the lookout for excitement and adventure! Wherever Little Pear goes, there is fun to be had. His friends love to join his adventures–especially his best friend, Big Head. Accompany Little Pear as he goes ice fishing, masquerades as a beggar boy, finds a tiger in his house, and–best of all–gets a brand-new little brother!
