review 1: I like Daniel Pinkwater so much. Quirky. This one is sweeter than quirky, but still sup rising as we see who the secret food sharer is… I just read this to the kids and they liked it but hated the songs, found them comically bad. And while I was making up music on the fly, I kind of had the feeling that he was doing this on purpose to parent readers, not making cute little rhymes (because NONE of them are cute little rhymes), and not really song like things at all. But see? This is the kind of benefit of the doubt I give this guy, that I think he puts in terrible sings just to goof on parents, instead of blaming him for awful songs! He's got me! Dave in love with Pinkwater!
review 2: This is a very cute story, but the title left me confused. Bear loves his
... morecarrots, but this is not a tale about Bear actually falling in love. The story follows bear as he tries to discover who is leaving him gifts, and the ending is very sweet. But I still turned back to the cover page and thought, "huh." Still, the illustrations are adorable and the narrative is sure to entertain young children. We enjoyed reading this book together. less

What idiot titled this book? More accurate to say "Bear in Friendship."
