Illustrated by
Kady MacDonald Denton.
Bear insists it's not his birthday, but Mouse has an invitation that says differently. Denton's friendly ink and watercolor pictures effectively convey the tone and emotion of the witty back-and-forth between sparring partners (A Visitor for Bear). Originally published as an early reader, this picture book edition has been redesigned and re-illustrated and includes minor changes to the text.
