Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
The popular Bear first introduced in Bear Snores On is back for a fourth episode, headed to the swimming hole and looking for a buddy in Bear's New Friend by Karma Wilson, illus. by Jane Chapman. Youngsters will enjoy the play on the friend who's hiding (an owl) and the repetition of Bear's "Who?" Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature
It is time to enjoy another lyrical, gentle story about Bear and the other furry and feathered creatures inhabiting his world. Once again the illustrations, done in acrylic paint, are inviting. The grass is lush, the animals appealing, and Bear is a calmly expressive presence. One summery day, Bear goes out to play and he hears a noise in the tree. Bear asks, "Who?" It is not Mouse, so Bear asks, "Who?" once more. It is not Hare, so Bear again asks, "Who?" Then something goes by so quickly Bear cannot see who it is. Bear continues to question as, one by one, his friends gather round; they all peer into a hole where something is hiding. When Bear is finally answered with a "Who?" he says, "Hi," and talks the shy newcomer into coming along to play. Then they all have fun with Bear's new friend who says, "Hoo...hoo...hoo!" 2006, Margaret K. McElderry Books/Simon & Schuster, Ages 3 to 7.

School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2-A mystery character is introduced in this fourth book about Bear and his friends. One summer morning, the cub heads out to play. He hears someone in the tree and thinks it might be his friend Mouse. But Mouse arrives and eliminates that possibility. So begins the guessing game that makes up the rhyming text as, page by page, the various woodland animals come on the scene narrowing the choices of the creature's identity. The refrain "And the Bear asks, `Who?'" gives readers a heavy-handed clue, but not until the end does this shy newcomer make his appearance. Chapman's acrylic illustrations are as soft and cuddly as ever and the familiar rhythm works well for reading aloud. While this isn't the strongest of the titles, Bear's many fans won't want to miss it.-Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

    This Book Made A HUGE Impact!

    My son is 19 months old and he LOVES this book!
    After reading it he was convinced that owls live in holes. We would go outside and look for owl holes (chipmunk holes in actuality) and say "hooo-hoooo!"
    It sparked his love for owls and he is going to be one for Halloween this year!
    Highly recommend this and Bear Wants More! Karma Wilson has some great books!

    We LOVE the Bear Series

    I'm so glad that this book came out in Board Book format. We love all of Karma Wilson's bear books and enjoy rereading them to our 1 year old son nightly. He enjoys all of the animals and the rhymes are fun and catchy. We give these as gifts all the time and can't wait to see more come out in board book as well.

    We love the Bear book series!!

    In kindergarten, my son came home from school and told me all about Bear Snores On. He just loved it! Around Christmas, we went to a book fair and he saw "Bear Stays Up for Christmas" and we just had to get it! We now own every one of the Bear books (1 1/2 yrs later) and we will still pull them out to read. Both of my kids just love them and never seem to get tired of them!!! My son really related to "Bear's New Friend" when a new boy recently started at his school and was a bit shy. Great book!!

    Bear is always a hit

    We read this one -- and two other 'Bear' books, 'Bear Snores On' and 'Bear Wants More' almost every night. My son is 2 years and 4 months and listens to every word. The pictures are enchanting and the rhythm delights.

    Mom's favorite childrens books

    This book keeps my childs attention. It is very rhythmic. Bear's New Friend is a perfect title and it is fun for the kids to anticipate who his new friend will be.
