Maybe Bear and Mouse?s luck has changed. But which way? Greg Foley gives us another wonderful, heartwarming surprise with Good Luck Bear.

The musical features powerful messages concerning inclusion and anti-bullying, appealing to all audiences - Katherine Quinton, K-12 Teacher, Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada Thank you for coming to Brandon! I have enjoyed many Spikey performances and no two are ever exactly the same. Love the diversity!! My 3 year old granddaughter had fun and lasted at least 45 minutes and after a little activity break was able to enjoy the final song reaching to the sky : ) She loved the audience participation. My 29 year old daughter in law thought it was humorous. My 80 year old mom enjoyed it and like myself, was so impressed with the rhyme and music with so much meaning!! So it really is a generational presentation with something for everyone!! Best of all, it promotes such great values!!
