quiet children or anyone that likes birds/lovely artwork." Michele

bear and the simplicity of his cottage and the surrounding town add
a quaintness that is quite touching. Savvy readers will enjoy the
detailed and dreamy, imaginative artwork, including stunning
illustrations of birds. With a binding as tall as Mr. Brown's hat,
this book will require a special place on your bookshelves. But it
won't stay there long." Carol Connor, School Library Journal

very real transformative power of friendship. The give-and-take,
caring-and-sharing between Mr. Bear and his hatted companions
celebrate how magic can and will happen." Terry Hong,

solitude and loneliness as well as the value of friendship with an
honesty that is at once heartrending and uplifting." Kathryn
Carroll, celebratepicturebooks.com
