K-3
Illustrated by
Kady MacDonald Denton.
Though Bear insists it's not his birthday, Mouse has an invitation that says differently. The witty back-and-forth between the sparring partners from the picture book A Visitor for Bear is similar here, but the easy reader format is an even better choice for a fifty-six-page illustrated story. Denton's friendly ink and watercolor pictures effectively convey tone and emotion.
