I seem to remember one called A PediaPal Sleepover or something like that. Pediabear and his PediaPal Lil' Timmy stayed at Timmy's Uncle Ben's house for a whole weekend! They had such a great time!

They got into all sorts of mischief! Wearing silly costumes, taking baths, rough housing, telling secrets in the crawl space , taking showers, reenacting prison escapes, all sorts of good, clean fun.

I wish I still had that book.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

Every day I thank Jesus that my forefathers had the common sense to hop the Mayflower.

Who's the Negro with Pediabear, and what do they have to do with a 49-year-old Catholic pervert?

My favorite growing up was Pediabear's first tummy ache. I remember the story was something about visiting friends for a sleepover and they only had salads for dinner and it ruined his trip. Something along those lines. Would love to hear if anyone remembers more than the gist of it.

Hmm, I don't remember that one at all.

Maybe someone else recalls that story? What was the moral lesson?

Sadly I don't think we got Pediabear over here in the Godless UK. From your synopses though the case of the missing salami sounds excellent. I've never really been into salami myself (although I hear a lot of girls are envious of people with them) but it sounds like an excellent adventure.

I didn't realize you were raised in a proper Christian household!

What happened?

And I'm glad to see that someone out there remembers Pediabear.

I did read Pediabear and the Monster in the Closet once. In that story, Pediabear wanders into a Catholic cathedral and hears a voice calling to him from the confessional. Being little, he thinks it's a closet!

I mentioned in my introduction that things at home became unbearable or suffocating for me. It was those experiences that led me to apostatize myself...but something as sweet as Pediabear tugged at my heart strings.

Re: Pediabear Stories: What's your favorite?

Wow, even I had Pediabear books growing up. I think my mom donated them to goodwill because she thought I out grew them. Wasn't there a book; Pediabear and the First Day of school, and Pediabear and the Monster in the Closet? I'd love reminiscing about this beloved children's classic.

Do you remember the scary ClosetedMonster? Gave me nightmares!


Closet Monster "blesses" a Chevy Volt, moments

Re: Pediabear Stories: What's your favorite?

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?

Unfortunately, the Pediabear books are currently out of print. The Freehold Public Library and the Landover Baptist Church library have copies, of course.

Re: Pediabear Stories: What's your favorite?

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!
