Bears Go To School Cover

Authors Note: Bears continue to visit Bucks County, PA, where we live. For the past several years, they have shown up in local newspaper reports which describe their visits to local school playgrounds, causing lock-downs inside the school and great excitement in the community. At the end of The Bears Go to Town, the cubs are taken home in a fire truck. On the way, they spot a big red building with yellow busses and kids coming out of the front door. "What's that?" asked Pete. "Don't know", said Gabby, "but we'll have to check it out!" And check it out they do!
