Foreword Reviews, March/April 2021:
"Autumn campers and hikers peaceably coexist with hungry bears in this board book with a lesson for little nature-goers:
all are kept safe when people remember to properly lock up, and dispose of, their foods in the wild. Bright
scenes, set along streams, trails, and among orange-leaved trees, find happy bears chowing down on natural delights
while wide-eyed human beings picnic responsibly, at a safe distance from the hungry furballs, making this a great
introduction to enjoying nature without disturbing its rhythms."
Kirkus Reviews, March 15, 2021:
"Readers aren’t going to miss the noble, not-so-subtle theme of this educational board book: that humans must 'take care or bears will eat your food!' . . . Bright, almost painterly, full-bleed illustrations pay homage to the lovely scenery both bears and humans are enjoying, and while the illustrations are more cartoony than photorealistic, the bears’ natural poses as they chow down remind readers that these are real animals they are trying to protect."
