CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 11 reviews)

Great book, however, I disagree with the suggested age.

The story is good with a great moral. I read to my five year old with him squirming out of his seat. Why? I was defining way too many words for him that he lost interest and was not able to appreciate the story. I say this is appropriate for a starting age of at least 6 or 7, if not greater.

We love the Berenstain Bears Books!

My four year old son has started collecting these books, and it's been a real treasure to read them to him because they bring back memories from my own childhood. He loves the stories just as much as I do. We especially love reading the little poems on the first page of each book! Each book teaches a different lesson. I love using them as examples of what not to do and also as positive reinforcement for my children.

Count their blessings

I enjoyed these books as a child and now I can buy them for the child in my life. Each book teaches an important lesson without seeming preachy. My nephew loves them. Make sure you select a Berenstain Bears book that is age appropriate. Some of them deal with issues for all children, some are for school aged children. Think about the content before you select yours.

Ungrateful Bears

Sister and Brother Bear gripe and complain that all their friends have new toys and new things. Mamma gets sick of their whining and basically tells them to be grateful for what they DO have instead of what they DON'T.

A storm comes and soon the Bear family finds themselves together and the cubs find out that family and each other is more important than things and being grateful for what they have is wiser than being covetous.

Excellent Children's Book with a message

This book is an excellent book to read your children. Not only is it entertaining, it actually has a valuable message for your children. Imagine being able to entertain and teach at the same time. What a novel concept!
