Parker Brothers, a board game company then owned by General Mills, launched its book publishing division in February 1983;{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=KLslAAAAIBAJ&pg=6961,2049534&dq=care-bears&hl=en|last=Dougherty|first=Philip H.|agency=New York Times News Service|title=Parker Bros. adding book publishing line|date=February 8, 1983|accessdate=August 9, 2010|work=The Miami News|page=8A}}{{Dead link|date=March 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} its first series consisted of six books featuring the Care Bears.{{cite book| last = Wojahn| first = Ellen| title = Playing by Different Rules| year = 1988| publisher = American Management Association (amacom)| isbn = 0-8144-5861-0| url-access = registration| url = https://archive.org/details/playingbydiffere0000woja}}{{rp|155–156}} Various authors contributed to the resulting series, Tales from the Care Bears; Tom Cooke illustrated most of the stories. At the time of publication, various trade publications took note of Parker Brothers' unique marketing strategy for the books.{{rp|156}} On October 30, 1987,{{cite book|title=Product information for Tales from the Care Bears|year = 1987| publisher=Octopus |isbn = 0706430530}} Great Britain's Octopus Books released a book under this title ({{ISBN|0-7064-3053-0}}),{{cite book|title=Catalog information for Tales from the Care Bears|via=WorldCat|publisher=Online Computer Library Center (OCLC)|oclc = 18325762}} containing Amelia Hubert's Sweet Dreams for Sally and Evelyn Mason's A Sister for Sam.{{cite book|url=http://copac.ac.uk/search?rn=1&isn=0706430530|title=Catalog record for Tales from the Care Bears|year=1987 |accessdate=August 13, 2010|location=University of Manchester|publisher=Copac|isbn=9780706430530 }}

Parker Brothers spent US$1 million in advertising on the original six-book series, which was made to promote the Care Bears characters. According to a company spokesperson, the stories would demonstrate "love, caring, dreams, happiness, friendship, wishes, and feelings". The series made its debut at the 1983 American International Toy Fair, along with other Care Bears products.{{rp|155}} John Keller, editorial director for the books, commented on their creation:

{{blockquote|The old way was to give authors their head. We, on the other hand, make up a list of, say, thirty interesting plot ideas, and then we do consumer testing ... Once I have the rankings, I call up my pool of authors and give them a plot to work with, and a style sheet explaining the characters. And then I say, "Please write 2,500 words filled with verve and excitement."{{rp|155–156}}}}
