The Berenstain Bears Get the Scaredies

by Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain

Overview

Gnarled tree branches; a mouse; strangely shaped shadows; the dark at the top of the stairs. Everybody's afraid of something, but that doesn't make you a scare-dy bear. It just makes you normal. That's the lesson in this ultra simple picture book that exposes common fears to light—and shoos them away!

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.

CHAPTER 1

Ugh! Ugh! A great big bug!

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! You're much bigger than that bug.

Help! Help! A scary show!

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! There's no need to be scared. It's just a show.

Help! Help! What's chasing after me?

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! It's just a shadow that you see!

A clutching hand! A clutching hand is grabbing me!

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! That clutching hand is just a tree.

Oh! Oh! It's dark up there!

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! I snap the switch. Now it's light up there.

Yowl! Yowl! Tow big eyes are looking at me!

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! Now, now. That's just a great big hooty owl.

Good ness gracious! Bills! Bills! Addressed to me!

Scaredy-bear! Scaredy-bear! That's just money that you owe. I know. I know.
