RedReviewStarPreS—Having determined that the wind is just right for flying kites, Bear and Mole investigate how to make one, gather the materials required, and test out their finished product, with unexpected results. The joyful, exuberant protagonists are set against broad expanses of field and sky, and plenty of white space. This cheerful picture book is a felicitous blend of short text and brightly colored mixedmedia illustrations. It is a winner for storytimes.—Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
It's perfect kite-flying weather, so Bear and Mole (Spring Is Here!) construct their own kite and fly it happily until a storm whisks it away. They chase the kite and discover that it has found a new purpose: shielding baby birds from the storm. The eventful plot, plentiful sound effects, and jaunty illustrations make this an excellent addition to Bear and Mole's adventures.
