About this title

About the Author:

Janet Nolan lives in Illinois with her husband and four-year-old dog, Ladybug. She has two adult children, who she couldn't be prouder of. Janet has a B.A. from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and a master's degree in Urban Planning and Policy from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-Grade 2—Harvey's three siblings have firm ideas of what constitutes perfect gifts for their dad (after all, they give him the same things every year and he responds with, "I can always use more..."). The poor little cub is clueless, but then he comes up with the best gift of all—drawings that show all of the meaningful ways that his father has helped and supported him. This focus on innocence creates an underlying message that may be too sophisticated for preschool audiences without discussion. The father is shown as a loving, sensible man who appreciates every attempt that his children make to please him. The illustrations are bright and expressive, and the rooms in the bears' cozy house are filled with homey details. An endearing story that will charm readers.—Kathleen Pavin, Purdy Elementary School Library, Fort Atkinson, WI
