The Berenstain Bears and the Wishing Star (I Can Read Book 1 Series)

Sister Bear is thrilled by the magic of the wishing star, but Brother Bear teaches her that hard work is important, too.

When Mama points out the first star at bedtime, Sister learns the rhyme and wishes for the teddy bear from the toy store window. Her birthday brings that very present, but turning her C in numbers into an A takes plenty of evening study with Papa.

Sister eagerly wishes for a white pony from television, yet morning arrives without a pet tied to the fence or waiting in the shed.

Learning when to wish and when to work is all part of growing up in Bear Country.
