Nayuleska's thoughts
Awwww! That was my thought for every page of
this supremely cute read. Bear and bunny hugging made my heart melt. Bear is
extremely considerate in how it takes care of bunny, giving it a bed, holding
it tightly and being practical by leaving its hands free when Bear goes out and
about looking for bunny's owner by placing bunny in a baby carrier attached to
Bear's back. Bunny is forever looking cute and needing a cuddle, which happens
in the story. Bunny's owner wasn't who I expected, and the twist at the end is
very welcome.
The simple, expressive illustrations enhance the sweet story,
having me shed a tear when Bear had to say goodbye to bunny. The love Bear has
for bunny is immense, it will remind readers of how they took toys everywhere
when they were little; I'd put my treasured bear (who had many clothes knitted
by my grandmother at a time long before the Bear Factory existed) on the
windowsill, sometimes with a book, so she would be waiting for me when I got in
from school.
