Little Bear is excited about the new baby his family is expecting, until his friends at Bear Kindergarten tell him all the bad changes that the baby will make in his life.

When his best friend Brandon will not share the clay at school one day, Little Bear gets so mad that he bites him, and even though he is sorry, Little Bear wonders if he and Brandon will ever be friends again.

Little Bear does not like the taste of his toothpaste or the feel of his toothbrush, so he does not want to brush his teeth, until his mother convinces him of how important it is.

Little Bear likes the teacher, other children, and activities on his first day at kindergarten, but he does not want his mother to leave.
