Booklist Reviews
Bear and Mole (Kite Day, 2012) are back. This time Mole is ready to take the training wheels off of his bicycle, but he needs some help. And Bear comes through, not just with his brawn but, more important, with encouragement. When Mole is ready to give up, Bear tells him he can do it, and he follows along behind, witnessing chaos turn to success. Hillenbrand's evocative words summarize the arc of the story, from hoisted, wobble, crash, and sobbed, to encouraged, whooped, whoa, exhaled, hollered, and smile. His large mixed-media illustrations further enhance the drama. Bear and Mole, charming in their simplicity, are the focus of most pages, and their facial expressions highlight their emotional journey. Lots of things go flying—leaves, ducks, even Mole. But Bear is constant in his attendance, and in the end, they all arrive at a happy destination: the Storymobile. A satisfying ending for a very satisfying book. Copyright 2013 Booklist Reviews.
