Description

A small squirrel finds a large yellow pear and decides to make a violin from one half. When he plays his pear violin beautiful music fills the forest and all the animals stop what they are doing to follow the magical sound. One day the squirrel drops a pear seed and up grows a huge pear tree filled with pears of all sizes. He shares them with the animals who join together to play music in a moonlight concert.
