Synopses

Whatever Next!

Baby Bear decides on an adventure before bath time, setting out for the moon and back. Along the way, he finds a rocket, makes friends with an owl and enjoys a picnic on the moon.

Peace at Last

Mr Bear tries to get a decent night’s sleep, but peace is hard to find. With Mrs Bear snoring, Baby Bear full of energy, and a house filled with tapping, dripping and ticking, the night becomes a familiar struggle.

Just One of Those Days

The day starts badly when Mr and Mrs Bear wake up late and it is raining, leaving Baby Bear late for nursery. Mishaps continue at work and at home, but the Bear family muddle through, with a surprise waiting for Baby Bear when Mr Bear returns from work.
