Reviews
"Some books are just plain fun. Treasure is one of those books. With limited vocabulary, hold, colorful illustrations, expressive characters and a cute storyline, this book is sure to be a hit with the little folks in your school. ... The voice of each animal jumps off the page and right into the reader's heart. This book would be a quick and fun read aloud for grades K-1, and an intriguing lesson prompt for 2nd graders."

Suzanne Bloom's Treasure received a favorable review in the February 2008 issue of School Library Journal:
"Lovable odd couples are a staple of children’s books on friendship, and Bloom’s Bear and Goose are among the most memorable. In this story, the more reflective Bear is about to have a quiet game of Tic-tac-toe when the ever-impulsive Goose enters, stage left. ... As in A Splendid Friend, Indeed (Boyds Mills, 2005), Bloom’s pastel paintings present uncluttered, double-page compositions, with each white animal highlighted against saturated blue backgrounds of various hues. ...[A]n endearing treat for storytimes."
