Bear and Mouse have finally overcome their differences and are living together in perfect harmony . . . until it’s time to decorate the Christmas tree! Bear wants dazzling lights, while Mouse prefers gigantic baubles . . . and, wait a minute, did Mouse just put a MANATEE on the top?! A topsy-turvy tree is definitely THE LAST STRAW and it looks as if Christmas is RUINED. But maybe, just maybe, Bear and Mouse can reach a compromise in time . . . ?
Mouse and Bear can now live together in (mostly) harmony, but Christmas is coming and they each have very different ideas about how to decorate the tree! Can they figure out a way to compromise - hopefully before they destroy the whole house?
What a sweet book. The rhyming story is easy to follow, and the simple illustrations have plenty of detail and things to talk about. Keeping the picture focused on the action, without too much going on in the background, means there's less risk of distracting the child (or adult!) reader halfway through.
Neither Mouse nor Bear have bad ideas, they just can't seem to compromise until the end. This is a great read that children will enjoy, and they'll absorb a lesson without realising it's there. A fantastic choice for Christmas or any other time of year.
