His Children's Works include the award winning Beany McGee and Rheinhart the Rhinoceros. The most recent series of stories created by Park Borchert is entitled "Bears in our Chairs". These sassy little bears get in all sorts of trouble, all the while the overcome the difficulty of being very little.
