From the Publisher:
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!

Reading Jungle says:
In this heart-warming story of persistence, hospitality and an unlikely friendship, A Visitor for Bear will surely become a story time favorite! Written by award-winning author Bonnie Becker and illustrated by talented Kady MacDonald Denton, this read-aloud picture book teaches all of us the powerful transitions of friendship.

A bright-eyed mouse pops in repeatedly on a solitary bear to politely suggest a spot of tea. Bear, who allows no visitors, keeps ordering the cheery little mouse to leave him alone and go away. After several attempts by the happy mouse, Bear finally relents and shares tea with his unwelcome visitor. He discovers that it was nice to have someone to listen and pay attention to him, and perhaps having visitors was not so bad after all.

In this story of dramatic transformation, kids will be delighted with the comedic watercolor pictures of the large clumsy bear and his tiny energetic new friend. Reading Jungle recommends A Visitor for Bear for its lively upbeat humor and energy, and the moral lessons of determination, kindness and giving others a chance.
