Trade Review"A sweet, well-illustrated book about a bear who finds critters in the woods while searching for a best friend. They all help him in his search, only to realize that they ARE already all friends now." – Fiction and Furbabies Bookstagram "An adorable and heart-warming read that follows Bear as he searches for a Best Friend.
Bear’s father suggests that Bear goes outside and find some friends. I appreciate how this book encourages children going outside and the emphasis on friendship. This book may serve well in introducing the topic of making friends for young children. Also, the art is gorgeous and engaging with vibrant colours and cute illustrations.
This was a cute and fun read and I’d recommend this. Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers (Clavis Publishing) for providing me with a copy of this in exchange for an honest review." – Books with Joy "Thanks for the opportunity to review this book. This children’s book is about searching for a best friend, but the main character actually finds multiple by the story’s end! He gets help from woodland creatures on his search, only to find that he’s made several new friends along the way. Short, crisp, and really cute designs. Appealing visually. Straightforward and to the point. " – A Home Library
