Reviews

School Library Journal

"The softly textured illustrations done mostly in earth tones are visually appealing"

Kirkus Reviews

"Gerritsen casts big, rumpled-looking bears for all the parts here, and gives the tale a homey woodland setting decorated with balloons, banners, and party detritus. Young readers with a yen for peace and quiet will identify with gloomy Gus, wish for a friend like Boris, and be charmed by the goofy protagonists."

Children's Literature

"With soft, earthy illustrations and minimal prose this is a perfect book for story time on a warm lap."
