Illustrated by
Kady MacDonald Denton.
In this fourth Mouse and Bear book, Bear doesn't feel well. Mouse tries reading him a story, singing him a song, and playing the banjo; finally Mouse helps his melodramatic friend write his will. This comedic duo's exaggerated repartee continues to be funny; the soothing washes of color in Denton's delicately lined illustrations temper Bear's hysteria and Mouse's enthusiasm.
