Big news in Bear Country! The Bear family, who lives in the big tree house down a sunny dirt road, has a new member: a baby girl named Honey. What fun! What excitement! What a nuisance! Sometimes it seemed that it was
crying, feeding, burping, spitting up, and diapering around the clock. And when it wasnt those things, it was shopping, shopping, and more shopping for things that were needed for the new baby. At least thats how it seemed to Sister Bear. Brother Bear understood that babies need a lot of attention. Brother Bear understood that babies need a lot of attention.

Hed been through it before when Sister was born. But having a new baby in the house was a new experience for Sister, and she wasnt enjoying it very much. It didnt help that when Papa came home from work every day, the first thing he did was pick up the new baby, make goo-goo eyes, and say, Hows my darlin little dumpling? Dumpling. Good name for her, thought Sistera fat little doughball that was hard to swallow. It didnt help at all when Aunt Min and Uncle Louie visited and made a big fuss over the new baby. Well, Sis, said Uncle Louie, I guess youre not the big star around here anymore.

Ha ha ha! Ha ha ha, indeed! It wasnt just Aunt Min and Uncle Louie. It was as if every bear for miles around came to admire the new baby and say how cute she was! So cute! said Mrs. Grizzle. Cute as a button! said Farmer Ben. Cute as a bug! said Mrs. Yeah, snapped Sister under her breath, a stink bug! Sister had a point about the new baby being a stink bug. Yeah, snapped Sister under her breath, a stink bug! Sister had a point about the new baby being a stink bug.

While she couldnt do much, she sure was good at wetting and filling diapers. Sister, dear, said Mama one day when she was attending to the baby, its not very polite to say pee-yoo every time you come near the baby. Meanwhile, would you do me a favor and slosh this diaper in the toilet before you throw it away? Pee-yoo!
