When Mama Bear teaches the cubs about the wishing star, Sister Bear immediately wishes as hard as she can for the special teddy she saw in a store window. She's thrilled when her wish comes true on her birthday. But what will happen when she sets her heart on a white pony?

In this engaging story of essential lessons, Brother Bear teaches his sister about the magic of the wishing star, and the dangers of being greedy.

Beginning readers will learn, along with Sister Bear, about the rewards of hard work.

About this title

About the Author:

Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 370 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 300 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.

Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books--even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.

Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Berenstain Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania.
