Reviews

“An inimitable feat and feast for all ages.” — Publishers Weekly

“This is the catchiest rhyming book you’ll ever read, and the illustrations of a little boy and a bear frolicking through meadows, streams, and forests of berries are so bright and happy, you’ll want to go berry picking yourself.” — Brightly
