Product Description
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! |

A Visitor for Bear 
The book is wonderful. My son loves the story. However, I was disappointed that I received two books instead to one that I ordered. I was billed once by amazon and once by the book distributor. I didn't return the extra book because it was more trouble than it was worth and the book was so much fun that I decided to give the extra one away as a gift.

Wonderful! (A Visitor for Bear)
What a wonderful, marvelous book! I heard it read on the Radio and had to buy it for a little friend named Nicolas. He was not yet 3 y/o but sat intently and listened and mimicked the repetitive phases in the book. It is worth the read for all aged-children with lovely illustrations. There are many lessons-learned throughout this short book. Enjoy! Sherri Anderson, Bonita, CA

The genesis of a most unlikely friendship
A Visitor for Bear is a children's picturebook about the genesis of a most unlikely friendship. Bear is very grumpy and prefers his privacy; his "No Visitors Allowed" sign makes that clear. But then a little grey mouse comes to call - and won't take no for an answer! No matter how much Bear forbids it, the little grey mouse keeps turning up. At last Bear capitulates and agrees to spend some time with the mouse in exchange for the mouse's agreement to leave afterwards. It turns out that sharing jokes and tea with a new friend can be fun after all! A gentle story about the pleasure of meeting and becoming friendly with new people.

My current favorite children's book
I have three kids, as many kids' bookshelves, and about a billion kids' books have passed through our house. There are many I love, but this book grabbed me in a way few have. I bought it on the spot, for no reason, and have spent many afternoons reading it to my kids (even the ones who might think they are "too old" for it seem to slowly get pulled in each time.)
There was a staff review card attached to the shelf under this book, and I remember seeing the words "instant classic" written. No words could better describe this book, and I am waiting anxiously to see if more Bear and Mouse books are published.
