From School Library Journal:
PreSchool-Grade 2-- A positive, nurturing response to a child's plea to be included in grown-up activities. Young Brown Bear dresses in his father's clothes as Doctor Doctor and makes an unexpected house call at his parents' cocktail party. Gracefully, they welcome him with food and a dance until Mrs. Bear excuses herself, saying it's time to tell her child a story--``He likes bedtime stories, you know.'' The vivid colored-pencil and watercolor artwork features anthropomorphized bears in whimsical suits and pastel dresses, with Doctor Doctor sporting an emerald green tuxedo. Listeners will delight in the playful text and in Brown Bear's disguise. Story-hour participants will enjoy the kindred spirit these characters share with Carlstrom's ``Jesse Bear'' (Macmillan) and Vincent's ``Ernest and Celestine'' (Greenwillow). --Carolyn Noah, Central Mass.

Despite his creative attempts to prove otherwise, Brown Bear's parents assure him that he is too small and too young to come to their grown-up party; they put him to bed. Brown Bear decides on one last try: dressing in his parents' clothes, he sneaks out the back door and presents himself at the front. His indulgent parents tactfully play along until the little bear realizes that he's not really having that good a time after all, and--still maintaining his new identity--offers to go upstairs to tell Brown Bear a bedtime story. A nicely perceptive tale with humorous dialogue and warmly appealing illustrations. (Picture book. 4-8) -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
