Papa's best vacation ever has turned out to be the worst vacation ever.

Now they're doubly afraid to tell the truth. Twigging that something is up, Papa casually tells the cubs a story about how he once made things a lot worse when he didn't fess up to something he did.

Brother is more than happy to oblige and gives him a crash course, which not only allows Too Tall to save face the next day at the race, but helps him learn that there's nothing wrong with not knowing something or asking for help.

35b Say Please and Thank You
Brother and Sister seem to have forgotten some important manners - like saying "please" when they need something, or saying "thank you" when something gets done for them. In fact, a lack of manners seems to be the norm around Bear Country school as well. After a few incidents are relayed to Mama and Papa during dinner, the cubs are reminded about the importance of saying please and thank you, and how much those three little words show appreciation and respect for others, and the things people do for them. Brother and Sister set out on a Please and Thank You mission at school the next day. Before long, the cubs' manners and show of appreciation start rubbing off on everyone, culminating in the school's presentation of a plaque and big round of thanks to the school's caretaker, Grumpy Grizzly.

36a Showdown At Birder's Wood
When Too Tall and the gang decide they're going to build 'a most excellent' tree fort in a big old tree in Birder's Wood, Brother, Sister and their pals try to convince the gang otherwise in order to protect a rare bird nesting in the same tree. As the situation escalates, the two sides find themselves locked in a stalemate, both sides believing they are right. Ultimately the standoff is ended as Papa helps the cubs come up with a compromise - one that allows the gang their most excellent tree house as well as ensures the safety of the bird and it's nest.

36b Help Around The Workshop
In an attempt to help him save time, Mama puts Papa's workshop in order. She puts every one of his tools away in its own special place so he doesn't have to waste time digging around for it. Although it seemed like a good idea, Papa finds Mama's organization has actually cost him more time because he has to go ask Mama where she put each tool every time he needs one of them. Ultimately Papa discovers there's more than one way to do something right. With Brother's help, he combines his way of having everything out where he can see it along with Mama's way of having everything in it's place by arranging all his tools on a big peg board - each one neatly in its own place, but out where he can see it.

37a That Stump Must Go
Papa and the cubs each have a problem. No matter what he tries, Papa can't remove an old tree stump that's obstructing his view of his garden. No matter what Brother and Sister try, the scarecrow they're building for Papa's garden actually attracts the birds instead of scaring them away. It's only after Mama challenges them to look for the good side of their situations that Papa and the cubs find resolutions. Papa decides to leave the stump and turn it into a base for a garden table, and the cubs decide to make the scarecrow even more attractive to the birds - then place it far away from the garden so they stay away from it completely.

37b Draw It
Brother is pretty good at drawing faces, but he would like to be better at it. When given the chance, he joins Mr. Drewbeary's art class. To his disappointment, instead of drawing faces, the teacher has them drawing circles and squares instead. It's only through helping a younger cub learn the importance of practising stance and posture in order to hit home runs better that Brother realizes the same goes for drawing where he too must learn the basics before going onto the next step.

38a Papa's Pizza
Brother and Sister are having all of their friends over for a party, and want to serve something that all of them will like to eat. When they poll their pals for everyone's dietary likes and dislikes, they're shocked to discover their friends all like and dislike different things. Although Mama and Papa explain that there's nothing wrong with liking and disliking different things as it helps make each of us 'special', it doesn't help the cubs with their party menu. It's Papa that comes to the rescue when he suggests they celebrate everyone's individuality by providing their party guests with the ingredients to make everyone a personal pizza of their own.

38b Female Fullback
Instead of practising, Brother, Cousin Fred and Too Tall discover an easier way of winning the big football game - in the form of Betsy Broom. Betsy can run faster than Brother, she can jump higher than Too Tall and dodge quicker than Cousin Fred. In exchange for her promise to help them win the game, the boys gladly agree to help Betsy practice her track and basketball and ballet. The boys soon find it's not easy keeping up with Betsy but by striving to do so, they discover they've improved on certain skills they needed to be better football players. So much so in fact, that they go out and win the big game - without Betsy. As it turns out, this was her plan all along.

39a Bears For All Seasons (based on the book title "All Year Round")
When the cubs find their outdoors plans repeatedly cancelled because of unseasonable weather changes, instead of moping around the house, Mama gets them outside where they inevitably find all sorts of seasonable things to do. Whether it's playing in the leaves, going for hikes or making snowbears, thanks to Mama, the cubs learn not to waste today wishing it were yesterday, and to make the most of what each day has to offer.

39b Grow It
When the fur on the top of Sister's head gets a severe cutting to get rid of a tangle of burrs, she can't wait for it to grow back. But it seems to be taking forever to grow, just like the seed she planted for science class at school. She tries to be patient on both fronts, but waiting is just too hard to do. That is until Gramps shares a story about how he too found it hard to be patient when he was young, and discovered the secret to being patient is finding something to occupy the time - to take your mind off what you're waiting for.

40a Go Up And Down
When Papa takes the cubs to the Bruin's cottage, he's in such a hurry to get fishing, he dismisses the cubs' suggestion to think ahead and plan out everything they'll need to take with them. He rushes down the long windy staircase that leads to the water far below - only to find himself climbing back up the stairs again and again to get something else they need from the cottage. They've forgotten quite a few things - lifejackets, oars, sunhats, the fishing net…so Papa goes up and down and up and down, wearing himself out. It's only when the cubs take it upon themselves to think ahead, make a list and take everything they need with them that Papa can finally sit back and enjoy a day of fishing.

40b Big Bear, Small Bear
When he's given his very own key to the tree house, Brother feels so 'all grown up' that he turns his back on frivolous 'cub games' in favour of doing 'important grown up jobs' with Papa. But when Papa can't find a way to help Ms. Grizzle gain access to her accidentally locked house, it's Brother who shinnies up a nearby tree to an open window like only a cub can. Realizing that cubs can do important jobs too, like taking care of their pets, helping their family and siblings, Brother decides not to be in such a rush to be 'all grown up' and rejoins the cub fun with his friends.
