"A Visitor for Bear" is a very sweet book that I highly recommend. Here is a review from Reading Jungle:
In this heart-warming story of persistence, hospitality and an unlikely friendship, "A Visitor for Bear" will surely become a story time favorite! Written by award-winning author Bonnie Becker and illustrated by talented Kady MacDonald Denton, this read-aloud picture book teaches all of us the powerful transitions of friendship.
A bright-eyed mouse pops in repeatedly on a solitary bear to politely suggest a spot of tea. Bear, who allows no visitors, keeps ordering the cheery little mouse to leave him alone and go away. After several attempts by the happy mouse, Bear finally relents and shares tea with his unwelcome visitor. He discovers that it was nice to have someone to listen and pay attention to him, and perhaps having visitors was not so bad after all.
In this story of dramatic transformation, kids will be delighted with the comedic watercolor pictures of the large clumsy bear and his tiny energetic new friend. Reading Jungle recommends "A Visitor for Bear" for its lively upbeat humor and energy, and the moral lessons of determination, kindness and giving others a chance. Be a bright-eyed Mouse and get a copy of this book for the Bears in your life!
