Bears on Wheels

by Stan Berenstain and Jan Berenstain

Published 12 September 1969
When the Berenstain Bears go acrobatic in BEARS ON WHEELS, pre-school children begin to relate words to pictures while learning abut numbers and counting. Bright and early books help even the youngest children get ready to read. Simple stories and basic concepts are humorously presented in rhythm and rhyme. Pictures that fully explain the text help even babies make the important connection between word and meaning. It's never too early to find out that 'Learning to read is fun'.

Sister is home sick from school. Mama wants to take good care of her so she can get well quickly. It turns out that keeping Sister happy all day long is no small job! Soon both Sister and Mama are more than ready for a return to school.

Now young children can read Bear Country tales all by themselves!  In the Berenstain Bears' exciting Step into Reading debut, Brother and Sister can't wait to go swimming. But first, there are many jobs to do in the Bear Family's summer house. There are rooms to clean, groceries to put away, closets to air out, suitcases to unpack, and on and on. Will the cubs ever get to dip their tootsies in the sea?

The Bear Detectives get to work when the nasty Bogg Brothers escape from jail and threaten to plunder the Bearsonian, the biggest museum in Bear Country.

The Bear Detectives try to figure out how Tic-Tac-Tom always wins at tic-tac-toe and whether he is cheating.


The Bear Detectives go to work when someone steals the money Farmer Ben has made from selling his delicious and popular watermelons.

It's 7:45 a.m. and Gus the bus driver is on his way. But the Cubs aren's even up yet! Will they miss the bus? Told in humorous easy-to-read text, this simple story offers up a blow-by-blow description of just another morning in the Bear household--which readers will find not all that different from their own!


A windy hill, a summer sky, a perfect day for kites to fly. Sister Bear and Brother Bear join their friends for a sun-filled, fun-filled day in this sweet, rhyming book.

Climb in and hold on tight! Kids will love spending a day at the Bear Country Amusement Park, where they'll experience the stomach-dropping, heart-stopping thrills of a giant roller coaster right along with the Berenstain Bears.  

Small hat, big head.  Big hat, small head.  Can a bear find a hat that is not too small and not too big, but just right?
