Critics Review

The amusing text features plenty of giggle-inducing dialogue and makes Bear’s and Bird’s individual quirks and distinct personalities shine. The charming digital illustrations in warm colours skilfully portray the bubbly duo, communicating a kaleidoscope of emotions with minor changes in posture and facial expressions. How lucky for readers that plenty more adventures of the pair are already available. * The White Ravens 2024 *
