Illustrated by

Mischievous and curious bear cubs Gabby and Pete leave their campground and explore a school undetected, making messes and wreaking havoc (rocking out in the music room, setting class pets free, etc.). The simple story arc ends rather anticlimactically, and the cubs are sent back home with a "bears will be bears" from the park ranger. Friendly, soft-focus illustrations endear the fuzzy, harmless troublemakers.

Illustrated by
Katherine Kirkland.
When Pete and Gabby, two playful and oblivious bear cubs, leave the safety of their campground and explore the nearby town, predictable hijinks ensue. Told from the perspective of the bears, this friendly beginning chapter book features a simple plot, straightforward narration, and serviceable illustrations.
