This week, I'm joined once again by Helen LaStar of the Falling In Love Montage podcast to talk about a book that shouldn't be as fraught as it is: "The Berenstain Bears Play Ball!"

Let's go to the fair! The BIG BEAR FAIR! How big are the bears? Who cares?! It's the BIG BEAR FAIR!

This week, we're taking a hard look at rope and the jumping over thereof! We're also looking at Sister Bear and her bragging ways and how if you brag too much… nothing bad will happen. It's "The Berenstain Bears and the Jump Rope Contest!"

This week, things get weird as a Step Into Reading Book takes a dark turn. We learn to count and the cops get involved in "The Berenstain Bears Go UP and DOWN!"

Are you ready to get sandy?! No? Me neither. I hate the beach. But, the Bear Family loves(?) it! They can't wait to get there! So, of course, Mama and Papa make the cubs wait. And wait. And wait. And then they get in the water. That's the story! SEA ya! https://ia802806.us.archive.org/24/items/dibcep232/DIBC-EP232.mp3

This week, I close out the "Big Mall" series(?) by taking a quick look at "The Berenstain Bears Hold Hands at the Big Mall" which, honestly I spend about five minutes on it. No, the big book this week is "The Berenstain Bears On The Road" which does not involve a seminal work of Beatnik-related … Continue reading "Episode 230 – The Berenstain Bears On The Road"

Let's go back to the farm, this week, with a couple of rewrites of a couple of the books we *just* looked at! It's "The Berenstain Bears Down On The Farm" and the religious "The Berenstain Bears Reap The Harvest!"

In this episode, I'm sick! And talking about Cub Club Books! This week, I'm taking a cold hard look at two books that may, in fact, form the beginnings of a trilogy that we discussed the ending of last week! That's right, "Nothing to Do" and "Visit Farmer Ben" would seem to set up the … Continue reading "Episode 228 – The Berenstain Bears With Nothing to Do/The Berenstain Bears Visit Farmer Ben"

In a time when it is neither summer nor job I take a look at the story of the Cubs getting railroaded into working for a farmer, maybe for free(?!?). It's "The Berenstain Bears and the Summer Job!" https://ia902809.us.archive.org/35/items/dibcep227/DIBC-EP227.mp3
