Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A friendship book perfect for the holiday season

One clear night, Bear makes a wish on a twinkling star and Mouse joins him in waiting for the wish to come true. But the other animals who come by all have advice for Bear.

"Don't tell anyone," says Owl.

"Close your eyes," says Fox. And Elephant suggests standing on one foot. Before long, all of Bear's friends are there.

"What did you wish for?" asks Mouse. Bear's answer will bring a smile to even the very youngest readers.

Simply told and wonderfully illustrated, Make a Wish Bear reminds readers what's most important in life--good friends.

Review:

"Rohmann tells most of the story through bold, expressive relief prints....This gentle lesson in patience and loyalty, balanced on the back of a hilarious set of illustrations, will leave young readers clamoring for repeat readings." Publishers Weekly

Review:

"[A] smart, sassy object lesson....The fun of this is in the spacing and sequencing of the heavily ink-outlined drawings....Tremendous physical humor delivers a gentle lesson about accepting friends as they are." Connie Fletcher, Booklist

Review:

"The double-page, hand-colored relief prints with heavy black outlines are magnificent, and children will enjoy the comically expressive pictures of the animals before and after their attempt to extract the plane. The text is minimal; it's the illustrations that are the draw here." School Library Journal

Review:

"I smiled, then giggled and laughed out loud at this creative picture book from talented Eric Rohmann. As each boldly illustrated page unfolds, you follow rabbit on a hilarious adventure. Kids will shout 'Read it again, read it again!'" Jonatha Foli, BookSense.com

Synopsis:

When Mouse lets his best friend, Rabbit, play with his brand-new airplane, trouble isn't far behind. From Caldecott Honor award winner Eric Rohmann comes a brand-new picture book about friends and toys and trouble, illustrated in robust, expressive prints.
