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 comedy of manners from author Bonny Becker and illustrator Kady MacDonald Denton, 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 let him be!

Reviewed by Megan Saben
I love the vocabulary, the crisp dialogue, the expressive illustrations, and the example of someone who insists on being a friend to the unlovable. More stories of Bear and Mouse are also available.
A Visitor for Bear
Charmingly droll, watercolor, ink and gouache illustrations, excellent pacing and the contrast in the sizes of Bear and mouse are a perfect comedic mixture...
