"Perhaps the book's most valuable visual aspect is featuring people of color in all elements of the theater, from Lisa and her mother, of course, to the orchestra pit, stage manager, and actors . . . A sweet story that will have children clamoring to see a show, perhaps with their own bears." -Kirkus Reviews"A delightful new act for ever-curious Corduroy—and an entertaining introduction to the theater."-Booklist
