★ " . . . The single, short bits of dialogue on each spread
are practically superfluous, as the characters' placement in the
minimally detailed scenes and Bear's body language clearly reveal
both plot and emotional arc. . . Bear looks more than ever like a
huggable bundle of shag in this gentle reminder that failures to
communicate happen and are not of necessity punishable offenses."
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
". . . Bloom's pastel illustrations are rich and warm, which lend
to the cozy appeal of the book. This charming friendship story is a
wonderful addition to any library or classroom beginning-reader
section and a treat to add to the earlier four volumes." —School
