	The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears For years, parents and children alike have praised the Berenstain Bears' New Baby and made it one of the best-selling books in the Berenstain Bears series.  However, New Baby more focused on the Bear Family's struggle to adjust to the new circumstance and did not directly address the issue of pregnancy and the age-old question every child asks, "where does a baby come from?"  For those parents who are looking for a book that might help a child understand where little cubs (and little people!) come from, The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears is a great choice.  It also will be a landmark book in the Berenstain Bears series because it is the first of two books that will add a new family member to the Bear Family.  Look for The Berenstain Bears and Baby Make Five in August to answer the question of whether the new cub will be a boy or girl.  But in the mean time, check out The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears!
	Bears in the Night One of the all-time classics, and a personal favorite of mine!  Bears in the Night is a Bright and Early Beginner Book first published in 1971, and it is usually found in libraries or bookstores with other Dr. Suess books.  This is a great book for young readers or for a quick read-aloud bedtime story.  The illustrations are great and the words rhyme!  Follow the bear cubs as they sneak out of their treehouse to investigate a strange noise in the night by buying this book at Amazon.com or find it at your local library.  You won't be disappointed!
	The Berenstain Bears and the Neighborly Skunk A Berenstain Bears Mini-Storybook that is now out of print!  Luckily, you can still find this book at many libraries or search for a secondhand copy at the Advanced Book Exchange or eBay.  The story of the Bear family and Mr. Skunk is a classic tale in which kids learn not to judge people by stereotypes or appearance.  First published in 1983, The Berenstain Bears and the Neighborly Skunk is a great book for early readers and adults alike!
