Something’s up with Brother Bear. He’s talking tough, he’s walking tough, and he has a new hobby: shooting hoops with Too-Tall and his trouble-making team. And basketball isn’t the only new pastime Brother takes up when he falls in the wrong crowd. Will Brother realize who his true friends are before it’s too late?

The Berenstain Bears and the Rowdy Crowd is an engaging early reader chapter book that features black and white illustrations alongside entertaining text and relatable characters. As read-alone or read-aloud, it helps kids connect plot to chapter structure and will have teachers and librarians asking for more. And as part of the beloved Living Lights series, it’s the perfect segue for emerging readers and fans of the brand. 

When kids graduate from picture books to chapter books, it's a great moment. Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey will captivate readers age 6-10 who are ready to take the next step in their reading comprehension.

My thoughts (lvh): THE BERENSTAIN BEARS AND THE ROWDY CROWD is an engaging story with a valuable lesson for early readers. Fans of the bears and new readers alike will be on the edge of their seats as Brother Bear is flattered into hanging out with the wrong crowd.... Will he learn his lesson before its too late? 

I loved this story and the lessons it taught.

Save the birds! Save the trees! That’s what the cubs are saying around Bear Country. If Squire Grizzly gets his way and cuts down the trees in Birder’s Woods, the yellow popinjays will have nowhere to rest. They could disappear forever. It’s up to the cubs to save this important part of nature before it’s too late!

When kids graduate from picture books to chapter books, it's a great moment. Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey will captivate readers ages 6-10 who are ready to take the next step in their reading comprehension.

My thoughts (lvh):  THE BERENSTAIN BEARS NATURE RESCUE is an education book about birds and habitat.  When the bear school does a unit study on birds an unexpected discovery divides the bears. Sides are taken. Lines are drawn. Protesters march.....

What will settle these differences?

A great learning tool, plus a valuable life lesson.
