Editorial Reviews

Review

“A smiling, dot-eyed brown bear cub narrates its life over the course of a year . . . Tracy adds endearing, sensorial touches . . . Farrell contributes cheery, engaging art rendered in gouache, colored pencil, ink, and digital mixed media to this lightly informative, bear-centered board book.”―Publishers Weekly, starred review



“The bear’s breezy, childlike narration is informative . . . Laced throughout the story are tender turns of phrase that make the narrative more intimate . . . Farrell’s loose, languid, full-bleed illustrations appear airy and simple and create a warm and homey feel . . . Bear-y sweet.”―Kirkus Reviews

I gave this order 4 stars because Bolo does not do a great job shipping books. The book itself is great but because it was loose in the box, there was some rough places along the edge of the book.
