Editorial Reviews: Cheery persistence wears down a curmudgeonly bear in a wry comedy of manners that ends in a most unlikely friendship. Bear is quite sure he doesn’t like visitors. He even has a sign. So when a mouse taps on his door one day, Bear tells him to leave. But when Bear goes to the cupboard to get a bowl, there is the mouse — small and gray and bright-eyed. In this slapstick tale that begs to be read aloud, all Bear wants is to eat his breakfast in peace, but the mouse — who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places — just won’t go away!
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Wonderful story Comment: My 2 1/2 year old loves this book and asks for it often. Fun and clever story of a grumpy, lonely bear that finds that his life is much better when shared with a friend. Illustrations are also wonderful. Customer Rating: Summary: Destined To Be a Classic Comment: A Visitor for Bear is the delightful and satisfying story of two fully realized characters and how they become friends. It is not only abundant with humor, but also explores the complexity of feelings that come with making friends and the risk one takes to do so. My 5-year-old daughter asks for this book frequently, and it is such a good out-loud read that I've caught my teenage sons enjoying it from the hallway outside her bedroom. It is truly a family favorite, even for this family who reads dozens of new books every month, and is destined to become a classic. Customer Rating: Summary: A Genuine Joy Comment: This lovely book is both warm and silly. Grumpy bear dearly needs a friend and happy go-lucky mouse is most insistent that he shall be that friend -- despite bear's many, many efforts to divert mouse. The pictures are well-executed with a joyful twist and the writing is perfect. A wonderful book to read aloud. Customer Rating: Summary: Children's Book Comment: Outstanding story, great illustrations, wonderful book for adults to read to kids. Enjoyable for all. Customer Rating: Summary: Politeness, Cuteness, and Calm Comment: This is an adorable book that my son loves and I'm sure we will love for many years. At a young age, readers can find the mouse and admire the artwork. As a child is older, this story is a wonderful example of sweetly polite dialogue. Then, later, a lesson is learned - friends are necessary and to be cherished. More Reviews
