Bear wants to read and write and think. Goose wants to talk and talk and talk.

Can Bear and Goose be friends? Suzanne Bloom's picture book says volumes about friendship with a few select words and charming illustrations in this Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book.

About the Author

She is also the illustrator of Melissa Parkington’s Beautiful, Beautiful Hair; My Special Day at Third Street School; and Girls A to Z. She studied at The Cooper Union and lives in McDonough, New York.

Industry Reviews

"Bloom gets maximum effect with minimum words. . . . Fun to read aloud, the book will also lead to discussion about friendly (and annoying) behavior." --Booklist

* "The gentle humor will elicit giggles; Goose's silly statements and Bear's patient responses beg to be read aloud. An ideal book for storytimes about friendship and sharing." --School Library Journal, starred review

* "A more perfect union between giggle-inducing but reassuring images and a text of very few words is hard to conjure." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review
