Reg Goes Swimming
The day is full of possibility as Reg wakes up from a long winter’s nap.
Reg likes to climb trees, eat snacks and sleep. Most of all, Reg loves to swim in the creek. Swimming is his plan, one beautiful spring day. But a few obstacles stand in the way. How will Reg react to the challenges?
Reg Takes a Trip
Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG. Reg does not like going to sleep for the night, and when bedtime arrives, he must find a way to wind down. Luckily, Reg has his big sister Co-co to help move him through all the big feelings of his day and into a state of calmness. Join Reg as he visualizes an imaginary trip to the ocean that will soon have him off to sleep. Reg Takes a Trip, the latest in this series of Tales for Big Feelings, uses the five senses to guide reluctant young sleepers into dreamland.
Reg Catches a Salmon
Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG. Reg wakes up one fine summer morning with his head full of possibilities: swimming, berry picking, fishing for minnows. But when his big sister Co-co tells him that today she’s going to teach him to catch a salmon, Reg becomes worried about learning something new. His heart beats louder, his muscles clench up, everything aches. He doesn’t know how to catch a salmon, and what if he just CAN’T?
