description: 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!
