Bear Norris knows that good things--like delicious "plorringes"--come to those who wait, but Tulip and Violet also want a taste of the just-ripened fruit. Norris is as generous as he is patient, and the three become fast friends. Rayner's illustrations bolster the spare text; energetic lines and blocks of luminous color surrounded by white space allow for great expressiveness and use of perspective.
