Reviews
Kornell brings a wry, at times epigrammatic style to Owen's narration, and he's clearly inviting his audience to share in the joke of the ursine twist on the usual family-addition story. Mixed-media art has the soft familiarity of watercolors with a crisp and comedic immediacy conferred by a cartoonish vigor. . . . Gary in particular is a big, appealingly goofy presence. . . . Kids will argue that they'd rather have a bear than a baby sib anytime, but they'll gigglingly take the point., "Inventive humor in both the text and the illustrations. . . . Its sweet message . . . will resonate with plenty of youngsters. . . . This charming offering can be enjoyed even by those whose families are staying just the way they are." -- School Library Journal "Kornell brings a wry, at times epigrammatic style to Owen's narration, and he's clearly inviting his audience to share in the joke of the ursine twist on the usual family-addition story.
