Reviews

I was particularly drawn to the illustrations in Bear In Love, which bring additional personality to the story and its protagonist. Bear is a cute character whose attempts to find the stranger, and that strangers desire to be kind, send a gentle message in a sweetly-told package: being kind makes a difference, and everyone needs a friend! * Kids Book Review *
