The title page to “The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears” hints that there is a new cub about to arrive!
The story focuses on the experience of Mama’s pregnancy as seen by Sister Bear. The baby is born at the end of the book. But Papa and Mama, in their excitement, forget to tell Brother and Sister the new baby’s name or whether it’s a boy or a girl.

“But what about whether the new baby was a girl or a boy? And what about a name for the new baby? Look inside the back cover and see how you can join the fun and excitement and help name the new baby – and win valuable prizes doing it.”
A contest at the end of the book invited readers to guess whether the baby was a boy or girl and to name the baby. The winner received a complete library of autographed First Time Books, Berenstain Bears home videos from Columbia TriStar and CD-ROM games from Sound Source Interactive.
The Berenstain Bears and Baby Makes Five begins with the results of the contest: “The Bear family, who lives in the big tree house down a sunny dirt road, has a new member: a baby girl named Honey. What fun! What excitement!”

And so, our dear little Honey was born into our Berenstain Bears family!
And Baby Makes Five was a must for our daughter this year as we welcomed our third child. Ironically, we also have two girls and one boy! 🙂
Love that our families “match”! 😀
ah ha!
LOL! Glad you found it! 😀
Oh I must find this book and the video… My family and I love watching this show :)…. My son, 2 years old, everytime he sees the berenstain bears he’ll say, “Bear Bear, Bear Bear!!!” Love it and the life lessons that are in the shows…. Even us grown ups need a recap on manners…
Thank you, Jessica! Please give your little cub a great big “bear hug” from all of us!
