(reviews)
starred review/Publishers Weekly
“Beguiling… If Seeger keeps these coming (and readers will hope she does), DOG AND BEAR are likely to join the rarefied ranks of FROG AND TOAD, and GEORGE AND MARTHA.”

starred review/Horn Book
“File this entry near FROG AND TOAD, POOH AND PIGLET, and GEORGE AND MARTHA; then be prepared to read it again and again.”

starred review/Kirkus Reviews
“Impulsive Dog and deliberate Bear are perfect foils.”

starred review/Booklist
“… The joy is in the way the pictures and text work together to evoke emotions familiar even to young children.”

School Library Journal
“Dog and Bear are back in another book preschoolers will love… Seeger has a talent for focusing on the things kids care about most… A great book for group or individual sharing.”
