Description
"A Visitor for Bear has the feel of a classic, and it's so cozy no parent could object to reading it aloud every night." - The New York Times Book Review (starred review)
Bear is quite sure he doesn't like visitors. He even has a sign. So when a mouse taps on his door one day, Bear tells him to leave. But the mouse - who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places - just won't go away! Cheery persistence wears down the curmudgeonly Bear in a wry comedy of manners that ends in a most unlikely friendship.
