The scouts find out that Jane is retiring from being a scout leader and is being a candidate in the election for mayor. The scouts' new leader is Jane's friend Mrs. Stickler. Mrs. Stickler has the cubs to "gopher" the History Merit Badge. The scouts decide to quit, but go back when they find out Old Shag, Beartown's "Super Happy Tree", is so important...

Meanwhile, Ralph Ripoff (otherwise called Ralphish Ralph) convinces Mayor Honeypot that Jane is trying to break up the Gang of Two (Honeypot says it as "Tang of Goo"). How the mayor can win the election is tear down Old Shag for a highway. The scouts, Gramps, and Mrs. Stickler have to stop them!

When I saw this title on the bookshelf, I thought,"Aha! This would be a good read with a moral and lesson plan for my 5-year old son. Little did I realise that there's a lesson to be learnt from it myself--As parents, we need to go back to the time when we were young and remember that we once were like that too.Occasionally, we too may have traded our grades for more interesting entertainment that the world around us offers.

Mama and Papa Bear had no intention of prying into Brother Bear's schoolbag until a waft of stale food led their noses to the scent. A teacher's note reveals that Brother Bear had too many things vying for his attention and schoolwork was the last thing on his mind.

I like the writer's sense of humour in creating in Bear Country a world similar to our own. For instance, the bears have The Bear Stooges, Game Bear, Bearsmoke, Bear Trek, Bear Revenue Service while we have The Three Stooges, GameBoy, Gunsmoke, Star Strek and Inland Revenue Service.

Both my son and myself enjoy reading this book together and chuckling at the wit and humour of this story. Once again, the Berenstain Bears has certainly made reading pleasurable and fun for my boy.

When brother bear teams up with too-tall and his gang to try to get rid of their subtitute. It teachs kids that ti is not nice to play tricks on anyone. It is one of my favorite Berenstine Bear chapter books.

This book is written in rhyme and explores aspects of all the seasons. The pictures are colorful. An entertaining way to teach children about the seasons.

When a new rich cub named Ronald (Ronnie) moves into town he goes right after brothers *girl friend* Bonnie. Bonnies uncle is buissness partners with Ronnie's Dad. With brother bear be able to keep his girlfriend.

It is a great book, If you are a fan of the series then you will love this one

My nephew has this book almost memorized, he enjoys the story so much. The race cars are illustrated in bright colors making learning fun. The excitement builds throughout the book, and the story teaches a message about persistence. I would recommend this book for any public or private library.

Once again, the peace and serenity of Bear Country is shattered by the boisterous exchange between Brother and Sister Bear. Even the usually patient Mama Bear could not help but blow her top off. Papa Bear comes to the rescue by showing the way. He puts things right by getting Brother, Sister and even Mama Bear to chip in and help.

By reading this story to my sons, they saw themselves in similar situations and decided for themselves that the more time spent on righting wrongs and the less time spent on the blaming game could go a long way in promoting a loving, healthy and harmonious family relationship.

Without being preachy, this book is a good read and teaches family values at the same time.

Peer pressure is the definition of this book. A bully, Too Tall Grizzly dares Brother to steal from a close neighbor. Brother doesn't want to be a chicken - so he does it anyway and is caught. The neighbor gives Brother great advice that he carries with him and is helpful in his next encounter.

Their is a school named Bear Country school. Their are many cubs that go their. The bears started wearing clothes that were un exceptavle and one of the cubs named Quinnie she wore a short skirt to school and one of the teachers sended her home Queenie had her mother call the school and thats wear everything started. The cubs started dressing un proper and had to have a new dress code. So the cubs had their own club against the grown ups they ended up getting to wear whatever they wanted to.

This is one of the better Berenstain Bear books, perhaps becuase there is no parental moralizing involved. In fact, the bears and friends (Cousin Fred, Lizzy Bruin, and Dr. Wise Old Owl) are on their own as detectives.

They get a call that the mean, nasty Bogg Brothers ("Not only did they rob and cheat, but they also made rude remarks...") have escaped from jail (again). The Bears find that the police have most of the places with valuables covered, with one exception, the "Bearsonian" museum. Here, with the help of Professor Actual Factual, they that find several items have been stolen, and they proceed to solve the case.

The story is more original and the language more witty than usual in this series, and I also liked the setting: It makes museums sound very interesting. 48 pages, with bright pictures, and recommended by the publisher for readers in grades 2-3. Recommended!
