BJ's Bean Patch

Once upon a time, a little bean called BJ was born. He lived in a tiny bean patch with his friends "Fenzie", the frog, "Anu", the ant, "B-B", the butterfly, and "Scooch", the squirrel. Everyday is an adventure as BJ learns counting, colors and shapes, ABC's, and the garden rules. BJ's Bean Patch Books are a collection of fun and colorful stories inspired to help children laugh, learn and grow.
