The Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze
Brother and Sister are caught up in a Beary Bubby collectors' craze that consumes their energy and imagination and also draws in Papa. In the end they all discover that it's not always worth it to follow the fad of the moment--there are other things in life that are more important than having more and more and more.

Meet Santa Bear
Christmas is coming, so Brother and Sister are thinking about their wish lists for Santa. When Sister's gets a bit too long, Brother reminds her that it might be best to think small so that when she meets Santa Bear, he'll know that her intentions are not naughty but, instead, nice.
