Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

ar decides her family spends too much time in front of the TV, she bans it for a week. Then the Bear family finds other ways to have fun and keep busy, so they watch less when TV is allowed again--and they don't even miss it. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the Author

*  Stan and Jan Berenstain were both born in 1923 in Philadelphia.  They didn't know each other as children, but met later at school, at the Philadelphia College of Art.  They liked each other right away, and found out that the both enjoyed the same kinds of books, plays, music and art.

*  During World War II, Stan was a medical assistant in the Army, and Jan worked in an airplane factory.  When the war was over, they got married and began to work together as artists and writers, primarily drawing cartoons for popular magazines.

*  After having their two sons Leo and Michael, the Berenstains decided to write some funny children's books that their children and other children could read and enjoy.

*  Their first published children's book was called The Big Honey Hunt .  It was about a family of bears, who later became known as the "Berenstain Bears".

* Over 50 children's books later, Stan and Jan still plan all of their books together -- both write the stories, and both write the pictures.  They live outside of Philadelphia in the country.   --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

a fave fr my childhood is literally saving the day...

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019

Verified Purchase

Our seven yr old has struggled tremendously w all things reading and writing. I cant even begin to quantify the hrs of sleep I've lost worrying, stressing, crying... trying to find something -ANYTHING!- to spark his interest and turn him onto reading.

And then I remembered the Berenstain Bears. These funny little bear books are our miracle. I've LOVED to read my whole life. I have the fondest memories of my grandmother reading dozens of Berenstain Bears books to me as a little girl... and then of me re-reading them to her. Introducing our little lovey to the Berenstain Bears has been jst... wonderful.

YES - They're too, too much for a six or seven yr old to read solo. They're def intended for co-reading / joint reading.
For me - these are the perfect books for teaching grade school kiddos ab theme, plot, character developmt, etc... while slowly transitioning fr me reading to him and daddy [ha!] to him reading to us.

Basically: Highly recommend. =)

ANY Berenstain Bears book is good for kids

ANY Berenstain Bears book is good for kids, especially in this day and age. My son is 26 and loved all the books when he was little, me too. I just sent some to my Godchild with small kids. Please everyone, remember: NO putting your kids on your smart phones to watch a video to shut them up -- take the time to SIT with your kids and read a damn book with them! --gv

We all need the Berenstain Bears

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2021

I grew up on the Bears. I can also tell not a lot of today’s youth have ever opened one Bear book, and it shows. Great moral lessons and common sense throughout the series. However we need a updated book. Too much social media and too much news.

Too Much TV is Great!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2013

The Berestain Bears are up to no good while encountering a rut of being caught up in the middle of too much television. This is a great book that teaches children there is more to life than just watching the old tube. Stan and Jan Berenstain do a marvelous job at telling the story of Mama Bear putting her foot down when her family becomes obsessed with television. There is so much more to life than television. The bear cubs take time to remember how fun it is to play out doors, read a book, or just talk with other family members. This is a must have book for any Berestain Bear lover. The book was purchased at a steal of a price, wound up in my mailbox just days after ordering, and is in wonderful condition.

Good Book, my daughter made me buy every one for her and she reads them to me before bed. The lessons in these books should be mandatory reading for adults when they turn 21, it would make the world a more friendly place.

cute but too educational

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

Their old black-and-white TV broke down (good luck trying to explain that to a kid) and mama decided the new cable TV is too popular. After a week of no TV they all find other interesting things to do, even papa. So, cute, but too educational.

Summer vacation make these kids so much dependant on TV and being a working mother it was getting difficult for me to make my 5 yr old understand why TV habit is not good. This is one of the best books. All the teachers and parents should read out such books to their kids. And the best part is children will love the way the story is being illustrated .
