And when Bird discovers that Bear has more of a certain talent than she does, well, Bear finds a touching way to make her feel better...“Bear and Bird has all the charm and wisdom of Julian Gough and Jim Field’s Rabbit and Bear series … The illustrations are glorious.” Irish Independent "Jarvis’s digital drawings, in beautiful colors, have an attractive handmade feel."

The amusing text features plenty of giggle-inducing dialogue and makes Bear’s and Bird’s individual quirks and distinct personalities shine. The charming digital illustrations in warm colours skilfully portray the bubbly duo, communicating a kaleidoscope of emotions with minor changes in posture and facial expressions. How lucky for readers that plenty more adventures of the pair are already available.
