The adorable bears are excited to dress up for Halloween -- but are there enough costumes for everyone? Big Brown Bear and the four little bears can't wait to dress up for Halloween. Everyone grabs their costumes from the costume box, but -- oops! -- in the rush, Floppy is knocked on her furry behind, and now there are no costumes left for her! Fuzzy says she's sorry and offers Floppy a golden gown. Then each of the other bears shares an item with Floppy, and soon she's dressed like a queen -- just in time for the parade! Shirley Parenteau and David Walker combine cheerful read-aloud rhyme and irresistibly charming art in another story for the youngest cubs and their big bears.

Who wants to build a castle? The adorable bears are back--and at the shore having buckets of fun (with just a few spills along the way). Here's a wave-washed beach where a castle can stand! Where are the bears to build on the sand? Whee! Yellow and Fuzzy lift their shovels to start building a sandcastle so tall it will reach the sky. Floppy and Calico are ready to mold the towers. Big Brown Bear helps them pack the sand tightly--but still the towers collapse when the buckets are overturned. Oops! The sand is too dry! What will happen if they move really close to the water? With Shirley Parenteau's rhyming verse and David Martin's irresistibly cute illustrations, little readers are invited to join the bears for some trial and error--and creative cooperation--on a perfect day at the beach.
