Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2018

MY 6 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WAS HAVING NIGHTMARES, THIS BOOK REALLY HELPED HER TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN HAVE BAD DREAMS. SHE REALLY LOVES ALL THE BERENSTAIN BEARS BOOKS. THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL AND TEACH REALLY GREAT LESSONS.

Good if you like the Berenstain Bears

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2007

I was looking for a book about bad dreams, and since the kids like the BB, this seemed like a lock. And in general, it is good, but it takes FOREVER to get to the actual bad dream part! The majority of the book is setting up all the things the cubs did all day which then precipitated the bad dreams. Then only about 4 pages are spent dealing with the actual dream. So that was a bit disappointing, but it is still entertaining and you can certainly use it as a jumping-off point to discuss bad dreams. (It is based on a TV episode that we've seen since.)

Hopeful this will help with nightmares

My 4 year old nephew LOVED the stickers. He’s been having trouble sleeping lately because of a nightmare he keeps having. I’m hoping this helps! It’s kind of long for age 4 compared to his usual books, but if we are going to be up late anyways because he is afraid to go to sleep, I would say it’s worth it (and might cut down the time in the long run).

They love the entire series and this is a great one. It gives them a sense that having bad dreams happens to everyone now and then and there's no reason to be scared of the fake monsters. They are fake, right?

Two boys' review: Helps you talk about what causes bad dreams

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2009

Verified Purchase

We expanded our collection of Berenstain Bears books this Christmas. Our sons, ages 6 and 4, enjoy these books and find it easy to relate to the young bears in the series. I like to mix these stories into our rotation of bedtime books as the need arises. That's how I came to buy "The Berenstain Bears and the Bad Dream."

This past year has been an especially hard on the boys. All of the superhero movies they wanted to see - Iron Man and Incredible Hulk and The Dark Knight - were not appropriate for their age. I mention this because at the heart of this book is brother bear's desire to see "Space Grizzlies," a movie that leads to the titular bad dream. So, this book helped illustrate why I didn't want my sons to see PG- or PG-13-rated movies.

This book hasn't stopped my sons from having bad dreams but it has become a useful resource that helps us talk through what causes bad dreams and why the dreams themselves can't hurt us.

We also own and recommend:
The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores
The Berenstain Bears Help Around the House
The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners
The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight
The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers

Very Good, not their best, but very good

We own many of the Bear Cub adventures, and always find Mama Bear to be a great Mama. This is a good title, but in my opinion a little too long on the build up to the bad dreams and too short of the "dealing with the bad dreams" and I was also sad to see NO "how not to have bad dreams" discussion.

But we still like it, we still read it. My 4 year old "read" it to his stuffed money last night when the monkey didn't feel good and was resting.

BB Learn About Stranges is a better one, dealing more completely with the issue of strangers whereas this one doesn't fully address bad dreams as i would like. However, most any BB cub adventure is well recieved in this home.

WHO doesn't love the Berenstain Bears!? These are household favorites! And there seems to be one for almost every occasion. I get them for my kids as the situation calls for it. First day of school, Too much TV, Chores, New Baby, easing..... you name it. My 4 yr old is going to be getting a few of these for Christmas this year!! Cause Santa knows what's up!! ;)

I bought this book for my granddaughter who was having bad dreams and waking up every night crying. I was hoping this would have her see that the bears also experienced the same thing.

Cute Little Story!!!

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2013

The Berenstain Bears and the Bad Dream is a cute story. I really like how Stan and Jan Berenstain apply real-life situations to their stories. The books are always based on topics that are relevant to children. My four-year-old has an entire Berenstain Bear Collection that we have ordered, book by book, off of Amazon for merely pennies each. Every used book that I've bought on Amazon's Website is in good or great condition. When looking at The Bad Dream, as well as all the other Berenstain Bear titles, one could not tell that they were previously owned. Buying used books from Amazon is the way to go to save a few dollars and still receive quality products. Not only was The Bad Dream delivered in great condition, it arrived at my house just six days after my order was placed.
