Reviews

[Mary]

This is one of those books that makes me think I could just go ahead and write children's lit. But then again, my little person really liked it. Especially the part about Milly eating breakfast in the bed.

Very cute book about 2 bears who are friends. They are total opposites until they have to work together.
