Members of the Bear family commit themselves to so many time-consuming activities that the resulting stress brings on a crisis and makes them admit that there are only so many hours in a day.
Brother and Sister Bear are sure they will be bored spending their vacation driving to see the famous sights of Bear Country, but before long they are caught up in the excitement of natural and man-made wonders.
One day while Brother Bear is hunting bullfrogs, he finds a tiny, muddy kitten instead, and when he takes it home and introduces it to Mama, Papa, Sister, and the family dog, they all decide to keep it.
Even though they are not into rad fashions, Brother Bear and Sister Bear join the other cubs' protest when Mr. Grizzmeyer enforces a strict dress code at Bear Country School.
