A Visitor For Bear by Bonny Becker and illustrated by Kady MacDonald
Denton - Bear does not like to have any visitors. In fact he dislikes visitors so much that he has a sign on his door telling potential visitors to keep away. Then one day someone comes to Bear’s door who will not be put off, and Bear discovers that visitors are not a bad thing after all. This is a wonderfully sweet and gently funny picture book that both children and adults will enjoy.
