    About this ebook

    When Brother Bear's teacher is away, all of the cubs in class decide that it's more fun to spend the day playing pranks on the substitute teacher than doing work!

    Stan Berenstain

    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.

      The Berenstain Bears Chapter Book - Stan Berenstain

      Chapter 1

      Operation Substitute

      It was almost time for the school bell to ring when Brother Bear, Sister Bear, and Cousin Freddy reached the schoolyard one crisp fall morning. The schoolyard was packed with cubs. For many of them it would be a day like any other. But for the cubs in Teacher Bob’s class, today was different. It was the first day of Teacher Bob’s honeymoon at Great Grizzly Falls.

      Well, said Brother Bear as Barry and Lizzy Bruin came up to greet them. Have you heard anything yet? Who’s our sub?

      Brother and Freddy and Barry were all in Teacher Bob’s class. They had been wondering about the substitute teacher all weekend.

      Her name is Ms. Barr, said Barry. I just heard it from Too-Tall.

      Since when are you hanging around with Too-Tall? asked Brother.

      Since I heard we’re going to have a sub, said Barry. Get it? he added with a big grin.

      Brother got it all right. It didn’t surprise him that Too-Tall was already laying plans for the substitute. After all, it was almost as if you were supposed to have a little fun with a sub. But what did surprise Brother was that he was grinning a little himself.

      I hope you boys can control yourselves, said Lizzy Bruin. We heard about those tricks you pulled the last time you had a sub.

      You mean, dropping our pencils all at once and crossing our legs at the same time? said Barry. That was Too-Tall’s idea.

      No excuse, said Sister. There’s no place in the classroom for that kind of behavior.

      Hey, you sound just like a teacher, said Barry, laughing.

      Well, maybe I’ll be a teacher when I grow up, said Sister.

      Oh? said Brother. "Will that be before or after you become a ballerina and an airplane pilot?"

      I’m not sure, said Sister. I’ll have to think about it.

      Don’t worry, girls, said Barry. We’ll be as nice as can be to our poor little substitute teacher. If we aren’t, you can report us to Mr. Grizzmeyer. Barry looked off across the schoolyard. Hey, what do you think Too-Tall wants?

      Too-Tall Grizzly was waving at the cubs. It looked as if he wanted them to come over. Skuzz, Smirk, and Vinnie were with him.

      Probably some kind of trick, grumbled Freddy. Like the time he pushed me backward over Skuzz.

      Hey, you guys! yelled Too-Tall. Get over here!

      I think he just wants to talk to us, said Brother. Let’s go see.

      All five cubs made their way through the crowd to Too-Tall.

      Not you two, snarled Too-Tall at Sister and Lizzy. This is man talk. Get lost—both of you. Scram!

      Sister and Lizzy stuck out their tongues at Too-Tall. Then they skipped off to where some of their friends were jumping rope. What’s up, Too-Tall? asked Brother. Foot-stomps or Indian burns?

      Too-Tall had all kinds of mean tricks he’d pull on cubs. He’d stomp on your foot. Or he’d point to your jacket. Then, when you looked down, he’d
