Bookroo's summary
Norris the bear waits patiently for the last ripe fruit to fall, while Tulip the raccoon and Violet the mouse eagerly anticipate its descent. When the fruit finally drops, Norris faces a choice: keep it for himself or share it. In this gentle tale of patience and friendship, discover how a simple act of sharing can forge new bonds and teach valuable lessons. Will Norris's wisdom lead to unexpected friendships?
From the publisher
Norris the bear has been waiting patiently for the last ripe fruit to fall from the tree. But Tulip the raccoon and Violet the mouse have too . . . although maybe not so patiently. In fact, Tulip and Violet sniff, listen to, and even hug the fruit. Norris catches the fruit when it finally falls, and because he is a wise bear, he shares it and makes two new friends.
A lovely simplicity of language and gorgeous artwork make this story of one of life’s first lessons perfect for the youngest listeners.
