mystery about Igor and the workbears. But he didn’t put much stock in it. He figured Brother was just trying to keep the excitement going.
    As Fred parted company with Brother at the Bears’ tree house and headed for his own home, he had no idea that the most exciting chapter of their Great Adventure had not been written yet. Or that it was about to unfold, just a few nights later, at the grand opening of Madame Bearsaud’s Wax Museum and Entertainment Center.

Chapter 11
    Grand Opening!
    Over the next few days, Brother’s suspicions increased. The more he thought about it, the more he was sure he knew that face—Igor’s face. The Beartown Gazette claimed Igor really did hail from Grizzylvania, the legendary home of Count Bearcula. But Brother knew better. He just couldn’t figure out exactly where and when he’d seen Igor before.
    At last it was the evening of the grand opening. The reception was at seven o’clock in Chez Bearsaud, to be followed at eight by the opening of the wax museum. At nine there would be a showing of Bearzilla in the Screaming Room. Then, at midnight, there would be a special showing of the cult rockhorror classic The Grizzly Horror Picture Show .

    By seven-fifteen, Chez Bearsaud was packed. Waiters in costumes served drinks and appetizers. Brother and Fred took glasses of soda from a tray held by the Frankenbear Monster. Then they were offered crackers by Queen Elizabear.
    â€œWhat’s that black stuff on the crackers?” Brother asked.
    â€œCaviar,” replied Queen Elizabear.
    â€œWhat’s caviar?” said Brother.
    â€œIt’s fish eggs,” said Fred.
    â€œUh, no thanks,” said Brother. “I’ll pass on the fish eggs. Got any of those little hot dogs?”
    â€œGullibear has those,” said Queen Elizabear, “but he’s tied up at the moment. Haha!”
    â€œComedian,” muttered Brother as Queen Elizabear moved off through the crowd.
    â€œWe should have taken some of those crackers,” said Fred. “This is our dinner, you know.”
    â€œI got news for you,” said Brother. “Those fish eggs are spoiled. They’ve already turned black!”

    Fred was about to tell Brother that fish eggs are supposed to be black when Madame Bearsaud’s voice was heard above the din. “Ladies and gentlemen,” she said into the mike she was holding, “velcome to zee grand opening of Madame Bearsaud’s Vax Museum and Entertainment Center. At eight I shall open zee museum, vhere you can see Queen Elizabear’s crown jewels, vhich I just took from zee safe and placed on Her Royal Highness’s head. But first I vant you to see somezing just as magnificent: Lady Grizzly’s priceless diamond necklace, never before vorn in public. And here is my great and good friend now!”

    As Madame Bearsaud gestured to the entrance, all eyes turned to witness the arrival of Lady Grizzly. She emerged on Squire Grizzly’s arm, with a glowing smile on her face. But around her neck was something that glowed even more brightly. The priceless necklace gleamed and twinkled as it reflected the overhead lights.
    The buzzing crowd had gone silent the instant the necklace had come into view. Now there was a chorus of oohs and aahs, followed by enthusiastic applause.
    â€œWow,” said Fred to Brother. “Look at the size of those diamonds! I’ll bet they’re worth a gazillion!”
    â€œMore,” said Brother, staring. “Two gazillion, at least!”
    Lady and Squire Grizzly made their way through the admiring crowd. Chief Bruno and Officer Marguerite followed them as closely as they could. Marguerite even had a police dog on a leash.
    â€œHey,” said Fred, “why the police dog?”
    â€œMaybe the chief’s worried about someone stealing the necklace,” suggested Brother.
    â€œWhile she’s wearing it?” said Fred. “And in front of
