Top positive review

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

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2019

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. =)

Good book

I was told about this book from a wonderful mom and friend. She has read this with her kids and now they have a family rule that when you do something rude you have to have a chore. The book has helped with beginning and keeping this going. Hopefully we can do the same in our family!

Great story about manners

Perfect book to read to any age... especially if they don't understand what manners are...a good way to put your point across without offending someone. (Maybe). Some people learn from a story easier than trying to explain to them...that it might be nice if they had some manners. :)

Great book to help kids learn manners! My daughter thinks it is funny that Papa Bear forgets his manners and frequently has to do extra chores. Love that it also addresses adult behavior since it is not always the kids that have bad manners! I loved the Berenstain Bears as a kid and I love reading these to my preschooler.

Great book for teaching importance of manners

My granddaughter loves all Berenstain books and this one is no exception. When I asked her what she wanted for her birthday, she said she wanted every Berenstain book that she didn't already have. Couldn't do quite that much but I did purchase several to help her complete her collection! This one was especially good as we have been working on her (and her sister's) manners just recently.

Sent to my great grandson. Always a hit with my three boys when they were young. Great read and illustrations. Can't go wrong with the Berenstain bears!
