Is This a Plum?

  • Dan and Finn Ojari



A deeply satisfying, laugh-out-loud treasure trove of visual tricks and rhyming reveals, destined to become a picture-book classic!

Is this a pear? No, it’s a bear!

This delightfully clever picture book is full of visual tricks and rhyming reveals to inspire wonder while making you chuckle – brought to life by an Oscar-nominated animator and based on his seven-year-old son's original idea and drawings!

Through the hole in the page, you might see a plum . . . or a spider . . . or a spoon. But turn the page to see the full picture and – SURPRISE! – it's something unexpected: the moon, a tiger, even a hippo’s bum!

This deceptively simple picture-book debut by father-and-son duo Dan and Finn Ojari uses bold, stylish art, rhyming call-and-response text, and clever cut-through holes that play with shape and colour to create a deeply satisfying read-aloud experience for children of two and up and their adults.
