Editorial Reviews 

"I read this with my 4 year old daughter. We both really enjoyed the story a lot. I asked her what her favorite part was, and she said that the part where Bear chooses to be brave and knock on the door was her favorite part. I agree. This book deals with complex emotions, however, it doesn't really explain them. I don't think it needs to, though. The book merits 5 stars on the story's cuteness alone." - Finley Farmer (Educator)

"This book was absolutely adorable. Bear loves Squirrel but is too shy to tell her. Instead he leaves her gifts. The pictures are so cute. The text is short and flows well. I think kids will love the story and pictures. So fun." - Julie Valora (Librarian)

"A sweet story about being in love but being too scared to let the other person know. Bear loves Squirrel. He brings her presents but can't seem to get up the courage to tell her it is him who is sending them. This would be a great story to share for a Valentine's Day or love themed story time. " - Kasey Gilbert (Librarian)

The Book

This is a perfect read for Valentine's Day!  It is a love story starring adorable animal characters with a happily-ever-after-ending. Bear is very shy and has a crush on Squirrel.  He can't bring himself to tell her face to face that he in enamoured by her so he leaves anonymous gifts for her to find to show his interest instead.  Squirrel is very inquisitive as to whom her secret admirer might be.  Will she finally get to meet that sweet gift-giver and thank him for his generosity in person?  

You are never too young ( or old ) to express your love to someone and convey your feelings towards them with expressions of love, whether they be verbal or non-verbal.  The illustrations are adorable and the colour pallet is spot on for a charming love story.  The book is short and its message targets that age group perfectly.  I highly recommend this book.
