    Description
    An entertaining story follows Bear, who doesn't like visitors, as he matches wits with a very determined little mouse who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places!
    Why raising readers Has Selected This Book
    Making friends and "playing nice" is never easy, as your child is beginning to understand. Reading this book, we laughed over Bear's anger about having an unexpected guest and Mouse's need to be a visitor. Your child knows what it is like to feel frustrated like Bear and want something very badly like Mouse. A picture book like this explores emotion in a way that even the youngest reader can understand.
