Review quote
"I read this with my 4 year old daughter. We both really enjoyed the story a lot. I asked her what her favorite part was, and she said that the part where Bear chooses to be brave and knock on the door was her favorite part. I agree. This book deals with complex emotions, however, it doesn''t really explain them. I don''t think it needs to, though. The book merits 5 stars on the story''s cuteness alone." - Finley Farmer (Educator) "This book was absolutely adorable. Bear loves Squirrel but is too shy to tell her. Instead he leaves her gifts.
