A Birthday for Bear -- Bonny Becker, Paperback

"The winning stars of A Visitor for Bear make a return engagement." -- School Library Journal

Bear does not like birthdays. He doesn't like parties or balloons, cards or candles. In fact, Bear does not like anything to do with birthdays at all. He would much rather spend his birthday alone cleaning his house, but Mouse, small and gray and bright-eyed, has other ideas. With a perfectly paced story by Bonny Becker paired with Kady MacDonald Denton's slapstick visual comedy, A Birthday for Bear welcomes young listeners to the party with artwork ideal for sharing.
