Why did they start calling him Brother Bear? That's funny. I love the Jan Brett picture, her books are so cute.

A fun list!
By the way, the couch in the picture from my blog is a Berkline loveseat. It's a recliner, and I know I've made fun of recliners in my past, but it is the most comfortable chair ever. The leather has held up really well, actually. We bought a second cough at the same time in a green fabric for the living room. The leather couch is used more, and I don't see any signs of wear. The green couch is in a room that faces north, but the fabric has already started to fade a little, and if you look at the fabric you can see wear marks. Both are just over a year old.
