The four-line rhyming text scans well, perfect for chanting along. Acrylic art in a pastel palette depict friendly bears with soft, rounded bodies, and the full-page spreads are nicely mixed with single-page illustrations. In what’s sure to be an unusual Halloween season, the simple pleasures and clamor of dressing up will be appreciated by preschoolers.
—School Library Journal
This latest in Parenteau and Walker’s Bears on Chairs series is a sweet, brief rhyming tale for very young children that emphasizes kindness and sharing—a fine message for Halloween or any time. The lilting verses move smoothly and rhythmically and express a familiar scenario. The colorful, expressive illustrations are endearing; minimal text and lots of white space per page focus attention on the characters and goings-on. Enjoyable holiday fare for the littlest trick-or-treaters.
—Kirkus Reviews
Written in rhymed couplets that read aloud smoothly and illustrated with expressive acrylic paintings, this picture book ends on an upbeat note that suits the holiday theme. An appealing addition to the series that began with Bears on Chairs (2009).

Walker’s simply rendered acrylic art packs oodles of expressiveness into the soft and fuzzy cubs’ faces and body language, affirming Parenteau’s message: “When the bears all share,/ the bears all win./ Let the Halloween/ celebration begin!”
