Why read it?
1 author picked A Visitor for Bear as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Before I was a published author, I had a critique with author Bonny Becker on one of my works-in-progress. She’s a generous writer who knows a lot about creating characters readers truly care about. I love her comedic writing style and this is one of my favorite books. I love the persistence of Mouse in winning over curmudgeonly Bear in this unlikely tale of friendship. If you like this book, check out the other adventures in the series.
From Carmen's list on picture books about bears, buddies, and writing.
