The Sniffles for Bear (Bear and Mouse)
The body language of the characters conveys a huge emotional range. Whether readers are fans of this homey pair or new to the dynamic duo's doings, they will delight in the childlike repartee and comfortable friendship.—School Library JournalBear's comic sad-sack histrionics, couched in his formal phraseology, and the contrast with Mouse's perky  attempts at assistance deliver bear-sized portions of humor.  Kids won't have to be sniffly themselves to appreciate the sickroom drama, but  it could also lighten the burden of those sentenced to whining and high Kleenex  use.—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
