I am looking for a kids book I read to a girl I was babysitting
several years ago.  I could have sworn it was a Dr. Seuss book, but I
have checked all the Seuss books I could find, and have not found it. 
The book has a bear (or some other creature) balancing things on its
arms and head (or maybe juggling them?).  Everything starts with the
letter B.  Every time you turn the page, there is one more "B" thing
added.  If you can provide me with author/title, I would be most
happy!

Hello, Breanne.

I believe the book you seek is "Berenstains' B Book," by Stan and Jan
Berenstain, as described by Barnes & Noble here:

Big brown bear, blue bull, and beautiful baboon encounter objects or
meet people whose names begin with the letter "B".

http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=1PHJT37G0A&isbn=0394923243

This book was first published in 1971, and has been pleasing
youngsters for over thirty years. I read this charming book to a
friend's niece a few years ago; ever since then, she has enjoyed
reciting lists of 'B' words and breaking down in fits of giggles!

Although it has been reprinted many times, the book is not currently
in print. Used copies are plentiful, and are not usually expensive.
Here are several sources where you may order "Berenstains' B Book"
online:

Amazon.com Zshops

Half.com

Alibris.com
http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?qwork=636278&matches=10&qsort=r

My Google search strategy:

"berenstains" + "b" + "book"
://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%22berenstains+b+book

I hope this helps! If this is not the book you are looking for, please
request a clarification before rating my answer, and I will gladly
resume the search for you.

Best regards,
