Places

• The is made up of Care-a-lot and the Forest of Feelings (see descriptions below).

• The Forest of Feelings is where the Care Bear Cousins live.
• The Hall of Hearts, located inside Care-a-lot, is the Care Bears family's meeting place.
• Paradise Valley is home to Perfect and Polite Panda (see above for profile).
