Review
Yet another fabulous addition to the bear and mouse books. Serious grumpy bear and fun loving mouse are all ready to celebrate Christmas at bears house. There will be goods eats (pickles of course) and quite possibly bear will recite a poem. But what mouse notices first is that there are no presents. As bear retrieves treats from the kitchen, mouse scurries from room to room in search of presents. As mouse becomes more and more forlorn bear delights in having fooled mouse and they both enjoy the very special gift of friendship at Christmas and always. The illustrations perfectly capture mouses antics and bears booming personality and you can't keep from smiling while reading. This is as much fun for the reader as it is for the listeners.
Overall Book Score: very good
