Silly chair standoff · Released July 1, 2026 · 4:55

What to expect in this episode
A mouse tries everything to evict an oblivious bear from his chair — glares, pears, underwear scares — then gives up and walks home... where the bear's own surprise is waiting. Includes the book's own "stinky bear."
The moral: What you do to others has a funny way of coming back around.
Keep it going — ask your kid:
- What would you try to get a bear off your chair?
- Was the bear being fair?
- What do you think happens in the bear's house next?
From our own listen-through of this episode. Asking a question or two after a story is "dialogic reading" — one of the best-evidenced boosts to early language. More on how we review everything in Parent Corner.
