Between the unerringly positive approach to a common
early-childhood dilemma and the can't-miss rhyme, this volume will
likely find its place on many a daycare shelf.
—Kirkus Reviews
Rhyming text is simple enough for a preschool audience, and the
lesson the bears model about sharing, though obvious, will be
welcomed by many teachers and parents.
—Publishers Weekly
Parenteau’s brief rhythmic text is bouncy and light, and ideal for
reading aloud. Themes of sharing and compassion are introduced in
developmentally appropriate, subtle ways, and the bears’ discovery
of their own resolution is a refreshing conclusion to the story.
Walker’s acrylic illustrations match the airy lyricism and mood of
the text.
—School Library Journal
Along with the visual treat of watching softly colored bears and
chairs on expanses of white pages, this book cleverly melds words
and art.
