"Colors as bright and blatant as Bearsuit Turtle's intentions, coupled with the seeming simplicity of the character's facial expressions, give the book a feel that is simultaneously retro and magnificently contemporary. Proof that even the most overbearing friends can have our best interests at heart."

"The simple, child-like composition with bold, zingy colors and quirky humor conveys the imaginative play and goofy companionship between the two turtle pals with complementary personalities...A how-to guide on how to play Bearsketball where everyone is a beary guaranteed winner..."

"...the title's -rejection of organized games for spontaneous imaginary play makes for a light, spirited romp for readers."

"With its high-energy plot and colorful illustrations, this book offers plenty of fun, and it delivers."

***STARRED REVIEW***

"Once again, Shea has captured the rhythms and cadence of the playground in a character who is distinctive but also feels like someone readers probably know."
