Let your child learn, explore and have fun with this award-winning series. Celebrate good times with Bear and all his friends in three party-hearty episodes that teach sharing, encourage self-expression through movement, and reinforce the value of friendship. In "Mouse Party," everyone gets busy preparing for Tutter's surprise birthday, complete with presents and cake, too. A day of peaceful relaxation turns upside down at "Bear's Birthday Bash," and with a few lessons, Tutter's pals have him "Dancin' The Day Away," in this celebration of friendship and caring, bursting at the seams with six sing-along songs!
