Synopsis

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!
