I am so happy!

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2019

My 5 year old grandson read this book by himself. He has been reading with some help, but this one he just sat down and read it on his own.

It is about all the bears (I think he counted 7 in the bed) Leaving the house through the window in the night. Through the window down the tree. Around the lake, through the rocks!

Just the kind of book he needed to give him confidence to read by himself. He wants to read all the time now. He can't wait to get to school tomorrow to tell his teacher!

Fake book

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2015

This book has to be fake. If it is produced by the same publishers then the production quality has faltered. The paper and image quality appears to be a photocopied version of the original. I purchased a second-hand version from eBay that dates back to the 80s and not only were the colours more rich and vibrant, the paper was thicker and more durable, and the book had an overall feel of quality to it that made it enjoyable to read. The cover on this Amazon copy was also different to the more original version.

I will not buy children's books again from Amazon. Very disappointed.

A classic, still delivers

Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2020

One of the best, original Berenstein Bears books, I loved it as a child back in the 80s and just got it for my four year old son. Deceptively simple storyline that has a bit of a thrill factor! Perfect early reading.

A wonderful Berenstain classic

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2014

The Berenstain Bears night time adventure. The small bears hear a strange noise in the night and go out their window to find out what made the noise. Out the window, down the tree, under the bridge, over the hedge, well you get the picture. A wonderful Berenstain classic. Just a few words, along with wonderfully detailed illustrations. t is enjoyable for toddlers and great for first time readers too. We have a two year old who loves the easy to follow story and the beautiful pictures. His first introduction to the Berenstain Bears was the book "Inside, Outside, Upside Down!", which he loved, so we bought this one and were not disappointed. It is now one of our favorites, and it is so innocent and cute we recommend it for all families with small children.

A great first book to read; also enjoyable for older kids

Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2011

The storyline to this book is incredibly awesome. The story is divided into several short phrases. This helps keep toddlers from becoming bored as you read to them. The pictures and story are very engaging -- not only for toddlers, but also for older children and even parents. And not just the first time you read it, but even after having read it dozens of times.

Since each page consists of 1 to 3 short phrases, which each have about 3 words, this short book is the perfect first book for young children to begin reading on their own. It will also help all kids learn correct use of prepositions -- like in, at, out, to, under, over, between, and through. This book and the Dr. Seuss classic, Go Dogs, Go!, are my two most highly recommended books that all toddlers should have read to them, and later try to read by themselves.

There are several similar books with a title like Bears in the Night by the Berenstains. This edition is my personal favorite. I'm surprised that Amazon does not have a photo for the cover. With the 4 for 3 pricing, and low price to begin with, it's well worth the investment.

One of the best-loved books of all time

Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2001

Every person has a favorite. Every author has a one that sells better than the rest. But "Bears in the Night" does something even more special - it is a book that people *love* unlike any other. Readers of all ages are drawn to its simple text; millions can recite them almost word for word... "down the tree ... over the bridge ..." Combined with brilliant illustrations so distinctive of the early days of the Berenstain Bears, a beautiful marriage of words and pictures becomes a work of art. "Bears in the Night" is a book for bedtime, story time, any time. It is a book for Halloween, a book for camp. It is a book for all places and all people and all times. Call me sentimental, but a hundred years from now, "Bears in the Night" will remain. It may not sell as many copies as "The Cat in the Hat" or teach a lesson like "The Berenstain Bears and the Messy Room," but it will always have worn corners... it will always cause a child's jaw to drop or eyes to widen... it will always hold a place in people's hearts... and as a result, Spook Hill and the safety of that tree house deep in Bear Country will be more than places on paper, but dreams and fantasies and real living places inside the minds and hearts of every person who reads this book.

Teach prepositions --- easy, peasy.

This is a great book for all ages. Little ones can learn to read with rhythm. I used it to teach middle schoolers adverb phrases. We added subjects and verbs as we retold the story.

We really like this one

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is one of the earlier Berenstain Bear books, and it shows. As you can see on the the cover, the bears are less stylized and cutesy than the bears in the newer books, and the story is an early reader instead of a longer read-aloud.

It's a cute little story about several cubs (sharing a bed - cosleepers take note!) who sneak out of home one night to investigate a mysterious WHOOOOOOO.

There are only a few words per page, with a basic vocabulary, so this one is perfect little-little ones learning to talk as well as for early readers. The vocabulary is largely prepositions of direction - up, down, in, out, that sort of thing. And the illustrations really sell it, very cute.

It is a simple and wonderful book for young toddlers

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2017

I bought this book for my sons when they were small and have purchased it for my grandchildren as well as all my relatives and friends having children. It is a simple and wonderful book for young toddlers. It teaches them concepts for words like in, out, up, down, over, under, etc. in a very entertaining way. I believe it is my favorite of all the Barenstain Bears books.

Excellent children's book

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Part of the baby shower request was that everyone brought a book for the baby. Turned out to be an excellent idea as the baby now has a complete library! I chose this book because it was the first book I learned to read. I love it! However, I do NOT like the price!! If' I'd have known that these books were going to skyrocket in price...EEEK! I guess nostalgia costs... I still recommend buying it.
