Junior Fiction

Sister Bear is a super soccer player. She's fast on her feet. She kicks the ball with the power of a cub twice her size. She's should be a shoo-in at soccer tryouts ... except for one little problem. Sister Bear is too small. Even Mama, Papa, and Brother think Sister has set her sights too high. Will Sister make the team despite her size? Or will she be stuck on the sidelines?

The Berenstain Bears The Trouble with Tryouts is an engaging early reader chapter book that features black and white illustrations alongside entertaining text and relatable characters. As read-alone or read-aloud, it helps kids connect plot to chapter structure and will have teachers and librarians asking for more. And as part of the beloved Living Lights series, it's the perfect segue for emerging readers and fans of the brand.

When kids graduate from picture books to chapter books, it's a great moment. Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey will captivate readers ages 6-10 who are ready to take the next step in their reading comprehension.
