This is a boisterous comedy story featured by two lovely animals, a bear and a sociable mouse. The former enjoys being alone and dislikes visitor while the latter likes to appear frequently without being invited. As the time goes by, Bear gradually becomes used to Mouse's frequent presence and enjoys having him around. The story has a happy ending with the establishment of an intimate friendship between these two lovely animals. The two impressive characters created by Becker in this humorous text are well received by both young and older readers. Moreover, Becker's soft water-color artwork is also excellent and enchanting, which has greatly enhanced the readability of this story book.
