'Every page turn brings text with a deft balance of exciting, often funny ideas and lulling rhythms... A sweet bedtime book.'– Kirkus
' Bear Child is an inspirational picture book story of parental love, belief and embracing individuality. Beautifully illustrated with the artwork of Sanne Dufft, children's author Geoff Mead deftly weaves what will prove to be a truly timeless folktale for children ages 3 to 7 – making it especially and unreservedly recommended for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections.'– Midwest Book Review
'The underlying message that we all might have an inner bear and are connected to nature is really wonderful. The book has a fairytale feel to it which is always very popular with my 3 and 5 year olds. The illustrations are beautiful and really bring the story to life.'– Green Parent
