About this ebook

When the Beavers move in next door, the Berenstain Bears learn a lesson about hard work
Papa Bear, Brother Bear, and Sister Bear are relaxing on their front lawn, lazing the day away, when they notice that their neighbors, the Skunks, are moving away. Who will take the Skunks’ place? Real estate agent Miz Muskrat shows the house to a gang of rabbits and a prickly bunch of porcupines, but finally sells it to a family of very eager beavers. While the Bears waste away the day playing checkers and paddleball, the Beavers get to work. By the time they’re finished fixing up the old house, both families will have learned to find a balance between being as busy as a beaver or as lazy as a bear.

This is a fixed-format ebook, which preserves the design and layout of the original print book.

About the author

Stan Berenstain (1923–2005) and Jan Berenstain (1923–2012) were a husband-and-wife cartooning team best known for creating the internationally beloved Berenstain Bears. Both born in Philadelphia, they met on the first day of art school, and were married after World War II. Inspired by their children’s love for Dr. Seuss, the Berenstains created a cartoon version of their own family, and with The Big Honey Hunt (1962) began a series that would stretch to more than two hundred volumes. Starring Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Sister Bear, and Brother Bear, the books quickly became popular for their evocative drawings and simple explanations of wholesome themes. The stories sold more than 200 million copies worldwide and have been adapted as movies, television shows, and amusement park attractions. The Berenstains’ younger son, Mike, has overseen the series since his parents passed away, ensuring that it will continue to be popular with each new generation of young readers.
