When a new substitute teacher comes to Bear Country School, the cubs learn that appearances can be deceiving.

Brother and Sister Bear don't realize the problems they will face when they agree to help Professor Actual Factual's super-smart nephew fit in at school.

Frustrated by their lack of artistic freedom on the staff of the school newspaper, Brother Bear and his friends start an underground paper and discover some basic truths about freedom of the press and responsibility.

Mr. Dweebish, the new teacher at the Bear Country School, tries to explain to the class bully how democracy works.

On the first day of the new school year, the Berenstain cubs are reminded that "though school is a challenge, it can also be fun."

When Brother's class studies birds, the citizens of Bear Country end up choosing sides in a battle between environmentalists and those who want to cut down the trees in Birder's Woods to build houses.
