Fitting right in with storytime themes such as fall, bird migration, and friendship, this appealing picture book, the fifth in the Bear and Mouse series, is well paced, amusing, and sure to charm both loyal fans and children meeting these lovable characters for the first time. Denton’s wonderfully expressive artwork, created with ink, watercolor, and gouache, captures the characters’ emotions as well as the humor of the narrative, the beauty of the season, and the double meaning of fall.

Bear and Mouse are an epic pair, sitting comfortably with other time-honored children’s book friendships, like Frog and Toad. . . .A perfect rainy-day read showcasing the joys of solid friendship.
