review 1: I have never heard of, or read, this book until today, and it is just too cute! It's unlikely that I bear and mouse would last together for more than minutes without either the mouse leaving permanently or being eaten, so this level of frustration is almost human-like: The persistent neighbor who doesn't get the hint.It's a funny read for children to see how the mouse sneaks into each place the bear is looking. And because of the repetitive nature of the book, it's predictable, which makes contextual analysis easier.It can be a school-setting book for different reasons: it can be a story for the end of the day, or to teach patience, or to observe emotions, or other things. The pictures show expression and explain the story well, even without the words. It's certainly worth... more reading.
review 2: Absolutely charming story. Bear doesn't like visitors-- in fact, he has a "No Visitors Allowed" sign prominently displayed on his door--but when a persistent mouse keeps popping up around his house, he discovers that some types of visitors are worth an exception to the rule. This story is beautifully told-- it makes for a great readaloud, although my guess is that the text is a bit lengthy for most preschool story times. Kids will enjoy trying to anticipate where the mouse will appear next, and Bear's grumpiness is delicious. As per usual, Kady McDonald Denton's illustrations are engaging, expressive, and perfectly suited to the text. less
