The Berenstain Bear cubs are anxiously awaiting all the candy and Easter eggs that Easter will bring, but Mama Bear and Mother Nature show them the true wonder of the season.
Three little bears set out, on a dark night, to explore a mysterious hollow tree and, once inside, make surprising discovery after surprising discovery.
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.
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.
Papa Bear is enthused about preparing for Bear Country School's Halloween Ghost Walk, but learns that "one person's fun is another person's nightmare."
