[Rev. M. Rodimer]

My congregation has several of the Pediabear books. The kids just love them come story time!

We have:

Pediabear Stays After School

Our pal Pediabear was caught doodling in math class. Now Mr. Johnson wants to see him after class. Pediabear's going to learn what doodling is all about!

Pediabear's Sunday School Adventure

Sunday is Pediabear's favorite day. He gets to see Ms. Daniels at Sunday School, who teaches him about Jesus! But this week, a man meets him outside the church and says there's a field trip. An adventure!

Ouch, That Hurts! Pediabear's First Injection

The doctor's office can be scary. Doctor Cassells has a pretty big needle . . . Where is he going to stick that? OUCH! Will Pediabear get a lollipop if he's a good bear?

Pediabear and the Odd Catholic Priest

Father O'Malley's breath smells funny, like he uses too much mouthwash. And even though Pediabear isn't a Catholic, Father O'Malley is always asking him to come to the confessional. What will Pediabear do?

Pediabear Meets a Clown

Some kids find clowns scary. How will Pediabear respond when he takes his favorite short-cut down an alley and finds a man dressed up like a hobo clown lurking in the dumpster?

Pediabear and the Mystery of the Disappearing Salami

Mr. Vitanelli's Italian Deli has a problem. The biggest, best salamis keep disappearing! Can Pediabear solve the case? The first of the Pediabear Mystery Series.

Which one is your favorite?

I have to confess that I have not (yet) red any of those Pediabear Books, but they sure sounds like wholesome reading for the children.

I remember "Pediabear learns to keep a special secret."

Oooh, that one sounds good! Is the special secret the fact that Jesus will only Save those who repent?

When I was little I loved sitting on Nobar's lap while he told me Pediabear stories!

Did he read to you from the Pediabear Mystery Series, or the Pediabear Pop-Ups?

Hey we all know you still crave a <profane language removed>

Does anybody here remember the Pediabear TV specials? They were stop-motion animated, I think by George Pal or Ray Harryhausen?

Watching them was always such a treat when I was little! My favorite was the one where the kindly old chocolatier befriends Pediabear and gives him a tour of his fudge factory!

[GODisHoly]

I'd like to know more about this Pediabear. I was wondering where I can order some Pediabear books or if it's possible order the entire collection? Maybe one of you can let me borrow a book so my kids can read it till I get some of my own?

[Henry Poppendorfer]

Pediabear's First Injection is a classic. As a true Christian pediatrician providing penetratingly in-depth and thorough healthcare for growing boys, I've made full use of Pediabear's wonderful lessons about the joys of serving the Lord. Plus, it makes it that much easier on me when doctor-patient confidentiality is already explained in a way that kids can understand, without them having to ask their parents. In fact, usually they don't talk to their parents about their check-ups at all, and they deal with it without complaining, just like young men ought to. Thanks, Pediabear, for showing them that inspections, repeated injections, and exploratory prostate exams are nothing to fear when the doctor's guided by Jesus' hand!

When I was a kid, I was very inspired by Pediabear Makes a Movie, in which kindly Mr. Pederson writes and directs a Super 8mm amateur film for Pediabear to star in.

[Jpagan]

I remember Pediabear makes a movie! I got that one at a garage sale, so the book was beat up. I remember how he dressed up as a cowboy for one scene with an outrageously big hat! I forget how that one ends though.

Pediabear and the back yard campout! My kids still love the recipe in the back for chocolate dipped bananas!

[Rev. M. Rodimer]

I can't believe this.

Someone ripped off Pediabear's book celebrating vegetable gardening. Remember this one?



The original, I'm sure we all recall, was "Who Will Toss Pediabear's Salad?" And it had the image of him holding a basket filled with cucumbers and zucchini and carrots and other fruits and vegetables. Without snails and worms in them, because unlike this poverty-stricken child, Pediabear's parents could afford to buy meat instead of eating bugs for protein.

The story, if I remember right, was about Pediabear growing all these wonderful vegetables, but since he wasn't allowed to use knives, he went from door to door asking various people to toss his salad for him. One after another refuses, but finally he finds a friendly man who lends a hand!

That last page, as Pediabear heads home with his salad thoroughly tossed, was always so fulfilling. He had such a happy glow about him!

Ahh, I miss those Pediabear stories.
