Bookroo's summary

Bear is convinced his cold is the worst ever, but Mouse is determined to cheer him up with stories, songs, and banjo tunes. As Bear's melodrama peaks, can Mouse's relentless optimism save the day? Join this unlikely duo in a comedic tale that promises laughter and warmth, even for the sniffliest of readers.

From the publisher

The relentlessly cheery Mouse pushes a cold-suffering Bear to new heights of melodrama in a hilarious adventure starring the unlikely pair. Bear has a terrible cold. In fact, Bear is quite sure that no one has ever been as sick as he is. So when Mouse comes tap, tap, tapping on his front door eager to make Bear “as good as new” by reading a sunny story, singing a rousing chorus and plinking a twangy tune on her banjo, the pitifully coughing Bear - growing weaker by the minute - is convinced that his tiny friend does not appreciate the gravity of the situation. Can there be any saving Bear from his certain demise? Welcome the world’s most lovable curmudgeon and his endearing, unstoppable sidekick in a wry new comedy sure to have even red-eyed, sniffly-nosed readers rolling with laughter.
