Two more volumes of Jim Henson Home Entertainment's critically acclaimed kid's series "Bear in the Big Blue House" will be released on December 1, 1998, by Columbia TriStar Home Video. Each new volume will carry a MAP price of $12.95 and will contain two episodes of the captivatingly delightful series targeted for the pre-school set and currently being aired on the Disney Channel.

These new releases-- "Bear in the Big Blue House" Volumes 3 and 4-- once again feature the beloved, insatiably curious and cuddly seven-foot bear and his close friends - equally adorable creatures created by the legendary and incomparable Jim Henson Company. Each episode in the series provides children with the opportunity to explore themes of friendship, mutual care, respect and other important ethical values in fun, creative, engaging and entertaining ways. In addition, every program contains several songs including "Hello" and "Goodbye," which help create a storybook structure and a sense of continuity to guide pre-schoolers from episode to episode.
