4.8Editorial Reviews Review * "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 mixed-media illustrations. It is a winner for storytimes." —School Library Journal,Starred Review
"In this breezy kite affair, the adorable duo of Bear and Mole is back again, reveling in nature. Sophisticated compositions are cinematic or sequentially kinetic, cleverly matching the author’s playful use of onomatopoeia. Muted tones that begin the tale give way to darker and more dramatic hues, creating a powerful shift, both visually and emotionally. This gentle and charming read-aloud will make young audiences 'awww' with delight." —Kirkus Reviews
"Bring this out on a breezy day to inspire a session of kite-making or wind exploration, or share it as part of a kite-themed storytime." —Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
