Benjamin Bear in Bright Ideas! (Toon Into Reading, Lvl 2)

Ages 5 to 7, Grades K to 2

Our favorite fuzzy friend, the idiosyncratic Benjamin Bear, returns with a whole new set of problems to solve.

Knitting a sheep a sweater? Visiting a fish’s underwater house? Soaring down a staircase on a square-wheeled bicycle? These could only be the predicaments of beloved character Benjamin Bear! Our favorite fuzzy friend returns with a whole new set of problems to solve—but when it comes to Benjamin Bear, the solutions may cause just as much trouble.

Series Overview: Benjamin Bear can always surprise his friends, whether it's by walking on his hands during a snowstorm or by using a tree as a parachute. This unassuming bear may at first seem down-to-earth, but his ideas are always out of this world. His zany approach to life has earned him two Eisner Award nominations and global bestseller status.
