Finally, when Mama was fully satisfied with how the food was arranged and all six places were set out, the Bear family and their friends sat down to their picnic lunch. There were 'yums' all around as the picknikers attacked those delicious picnic goodies ...

The Bear Family thinks they're going out for a lovely afternoon picnic…but little do they know that they're in for a sharp surprise, including some bites to the behind! After a science experiment gone wrong unleashes a horde of stinging, breeding ants into Bear County, the Bears are frantic. Can the ants be stopped? The Berenstain Bears Chapter Books are the perfect next step for increasingly independent young readers.

When Ferdy and Actual Factual's ant-breeding project gets out of control and the ants start multiplying faster than anyone had ever expected, the whole town is jeopardized as the little creatures simply start taking over.

Come for a visit in Bear Country with this classic First Time Book® from Stan and Jan Berenstain. Sister is curious about God and what and where He is. Now, it’s up to Papa and Mama to help Sister see that He is all around, from the sunshine to the birds and the clouds to the chapel. This beloved story is a perfect way to teach children about who God is and how to see His many blessings all around them.

Once again, the Berenstains have focused on a subject of great concern for parents and kids alike: guns. When Ferdy the nerd gets paired with Too-Tall the jock in an assignment to study inventions, the one subject they can agree on is guns. While Ferdy's interest is strictly intellectual, Too-Tall's is, unfortunately, basically bang-bang. Things come to a head at Bear Country School when Too-Tall brings in a monster squirt gun that looks an awful lot like the real thing. The whole class learns a valuable lesson: in the wrong hands, guns can be bad business--whether they are real or not.

When alien dogs visit Lugenheimer Elementary School during the fifth-grade fundraiser--a dog wash--to select human pets for their home planet, Bowwowwowwow, Bob and Clementine and their superhero friend, Hot Dog, must stop them.

This classic Beginner Book written by Stan and Jan Berenstain—and edited by Dr. Seuss—is the debut of the beloved Berenstain Bears! The Bear family has run out of honey, and Father Bear and Small Bear are sent to get more. But rather than just get some at the store as Mother Bear suggested, Father Bear decides to follow a bee and get fresh honey from the source. Early readers and established Berenstain Bears fans will lap up this sweet, adventurous (and misadventurous) tale. Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.
