It's Christmastime, and Mrs. McGregor reads Hans Christian Andersen's tale of a fir tree that did not appreciate what was all around him.
Beverly Martindale's puppet show is back, and this time Mr. Tilson is at the bookshop to see it. After another run-up with Humpty Dumpty, Mrs. McGregor acts as narrator to help the puppets play out their roles as The Bremen Town Musicians.
This was the Berenstain Bears' television debut. Who, after reading The Big Honey Hut in 1962, could have foreseen the Berenstain Bears' brilliant future? It began at Tilson's Bookshop in '74.

Although the illustrations of The Bike Lesson and The Bears' Picnic are redrawn by WVIZ's resident artist, the warmth and grace remain.
