The Berenstain Bears Chapter Book: Camp Crush
About this ebook
When Brother and Sister Bear decide to go to Camp Grizzmeyer for the summer, they expect to have a great time swimming, canoeing, playing tennis, and doing arts and crafts. What the bear cubs don't bargain for is the eerie romance in the air that keeps drawing the boy and girl campers together!
Instead of relaxing by the water, the cubs find themselves pulling tall weeds from the basketball court. Even the weekly rec hall dance brings a surprise when their booming director insists on playing big-band waltzes instead of rock 'n' roll.
Between baloney-sandwich dinners and cabin chores, Brother and his friends must still team up to prepare for the big All-Camp Games against rival Camp Sunshine.

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 250 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' interest in children's books 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. Since Stan's death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.
