***Winner of an Ezra Jack Keats New Writer Honor Award ***
“This story is mischief-making at its finest. And just like a good sandwich, it’s hard to resist.” – Book Page
“Charming” — The Wall Street Journal
“While the bear storyline is entertaining in itself, the ending twist will equally delight kids who love to spot untruths, and a second reading for hints as to the narrator’s credibility may well be in order.” — The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, Starred review
