The Berenstain Bears Out West

Yee-ha!

The Bear family is flying over rivers and mountains to get to Uncle Tex's ranch. At the B-Bar-X, Uncle Tex greets them in his ten-gallon hat, boots, and chaps. The cubs even get their very own ponies to ride!

There is so much to see! Uncle Tex leads the family out past canyons, cliffs, and the Painted Desert in a horse-drawn buggy. Exciting sights wait around every canyon bend! He shows them the old trails of wagon trains, brave Pony Express riders, and great bison herds.

When dinner time comes, Aunt Min serves up a sizzling beefsteak barbecue. Uncle Tex and Aunt Min have plenty of ways to share the fun of the West with the Bear family.
