Australian author/artist team Jane Ormerod and Freya Blackwood return to the adventures of a willful little girl and her patient ursine companion in this board-book follow-up to Maudie and Bear. Hurt and angry when Bear giggles at her dancing, Maudie withdraws, and Bear must take steps to set things right...

Although I found the initial story about Maudie and Bear rather unappealing, given Maudie's spoiled behavior, I thought Making Up was rather sweet (if read separately from the larger "Maudie & Bear" story-line). Naturally, as a Freya Blackwood fan - the primary reason for picking this little book up, despite my feelings about the initial story - I thought the artwork here was adorable. Recommended to fellow Blackwood fans. ( )
