Cute Book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a great follow-on to Bear Snores On and doesn't disappoint. The vivid colors and sweet storyline keeps my little one's attention. While Bear Snores On is still our favorite, Bear Wants More is a good addition to our growing book collection.

Bear is so loveable 5 out of 5 stars.

This book as well as "Bear Snores On" are 2 of my daughter's very favorite books. The rhymes and beat are very fun. Now, when we are looking for another book, we always look-up Karma Wilson to see what else she has out.

Editorial Review:

When springtime comes,

in his warm winter den

a bear wakes up

very hungry and thin!..."

Bear finds some roots to eat, but that's not enough. He wants more! With his friends' help, he finds some berries, clover, and fish to eat, but that's not enough. Bear wants more!

How Bear's friends help him to finally satisfy his HUGE hunger in a most surprising way will enchant young readers. Karma Wilson's rhythmic text and Jane Chapman's vibrant illustrations make Bear Wants More a perfect springtime read-aloud.

Editorial Review:

Sister Bear and her new friend, Miranda, make a lot of bad decisions—riding down Dead Bear's Hill, eating Ben's apples, running through Mizz McGrizz's tulips. When Mama Bear finds out about these things, she wants Sister to stop playing with their new neighbor. But is it really all Miranda's fault?

Love these books 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My boys love this whole series of books - they both sing along while we read them and actually start singing them spontaneously in the car or while playing. The artwork is amazing - just like the others in the series! My only wish is that this was in board book format!

very cute 5 out of 5 stars.

Berenstain Bears Christmas 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I bought this for my grandchildren and they love it. It is a great story and the hidden images behind the flaps add a lot to the story. I'm not sure the flaps will endure for long with the little ones, but I LOVE Berenstain Bear books and the story is perfect for the Christmas season.

Editorial Review:

Christmas is just around the corner, and everyone in the Bear family wants to help decorate the tree! Includes thirteen flaps that open to reveal hidden holiday surprises.

Wonderfully entertaining ... for both the kids and you! 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

We LOVE this CD set! I bought it 2 years ago for my daughter to listen to for naps and bedtime, and now at age 5 she's STILL asking for it every night.

I like the fact that both CDs are over an hour long, she likes that there are several stories on each CD to keep her attention. The plots aren't too complicated for her to follow, but they do force her to pay attention and focus on the cd, which is key for naptime. :) Stephen Fry's voice is wonderfully soothing to listen to, and he does a great job of distinguishing between the various characters -- key for books on CD!

As she's gotten older Caroline has begun to appreciate some of the silliness that is Paddington, but the stories are nicely entertaining even without that element. We parents don't mind listening to Paddington in the car when we're on trips. All in all, I say this CD set is well worth this money, it's one that will really grow with you!!

Editorial Review:

In 1958, the story of a little bear found in London's Paddington Station wearing the sign "Please look after this bear" was first published and has been beloved by children around the world ever since. At the time of its publication, one reviewer said, "It should be compulsory reading for all children from six to sixty." This deluxe anniversary edition includes full-color art throughout by the original artist, Peggy Fortnum.

The Berenstain magic 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

When my children were small they loved the Berenstain books. It still is a great pleasure to see these books. One of their finest features is the appealing way the Bears are drawn. They are so bright and colorful.
The TV book is a good one, and it has an excellent lesson for the world's children. Too much sitting and watching T.V. dulls the mind and the heart. Children need more time to be outside playing, or with their parents, or reading books, or doing many other things.
This book may seem a bit dated as today the couch- potato distractions are more diverse( and perhaps Interactive) than T.V.
In any case this little book is a fine and amusing read for children and for parents alike.

Two boys' review: Good message, but book needs updating 2 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I've reviewed several of the Berenstain Bears books available at Amazon. This one is my least favorite because it is stuck in the mid-1980s. Mother Bear supposes the increased TV viewing is a result of the family switching from a black-and-white TV to a color set or, perhaps, because Papa Bear installed a new antenna atop the tree house.

Seriously, in a world of satellite TV, digital video recorders and on-demand movies, do you think upgrading to color television is the issue?

The rest of the book, which focuses on outdoor activities and the value of a family dinner time, is still valuable, but could use an update as well.

Skip this book and pick up "The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Commercials" instead.

Editorial Review:

When Mama Bear 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.

Ungrateful Bears 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

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.

Count their blessings 4 out of 5 stars.

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.

Editorial Review:

Illustrated in full color. Mama Bear is tired of hearing how many Bearbie dolls Lizzy Bruin has and how many Game Bear video games Cousin Freddy just got. During a thunderstorm, Mama gets her cubs to realize that love and a good home are much more valuable than material possessions.

beautiful book 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I got this book as a christmas present in 1990 and really enjoyed it. All the toys looked exciting to me and I really loved the illustrations.

Love this book! 5 out of 5 stars.

This is such a cute book! This one has the Bear family going to the mall two days after Thanksgiving and finding that it's all decorated for Christmas. Mama thinks it's too early, but Papa thinks that the kids will be fine and they will be able to handle it. Then the next page shows the cubs jumping up and down in front of the toy store way too excited for the season to begin. Sister has a ton of questions about Santa, like how does he get down our skinny chimney, how does he drive his sleigh when there's no snow, etc., etc. Just the same questions just about every child has at one time or another. It also goes through how hard it is to wait until Christmas Eve and all the things a kid goes through waiting for that wonderful event. Lastly, it shows the cubs buying thoughtful gifts for their parents and being very excited when they open them on Christmas. The book closes with Papa explaining all of Sister's questions on Christmas Eve while they are looking up into the sky, waiting for Santa Bear to come. Then, it starts to snow and blankets the entire town with Christmas snow.

This is such a great little book - it shows all the joys of Christmas through a child's eyes but also teaches about giving. When Sister says that Santa Bear has the hardest job in the world making all those presents and then delivering them, Papa counters with the fact that he thinks that Santa Bear has the best job because he gets to give all those gifts to so many cubs. That's the last sentence in the book too - when the cubs give their gifts to their parents, they realize that Papa was right - Santa Bear did have the best job in the whole world because it feels better to give than to receive.

We LOVE this book in our house and I just can't recommend it enough!

Editorial Review:

How can Santa's sleigh land when there's no snow on the ground? How can he possibly fit down all those skinny-minny little chimneys? And how come every mall has a different Santa? These are just some of the highly delicate issues handled in this classic First Time Book that's back in print with a cheery new cover for a new generation of Bear fans.

Not All Doctors Are Bad. 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Most children are afraid of going to the doctor (well a lot of adults are, too, but for completely different reasons). When the word doctor is mentioned to kids images of needles, blood, bandages, and strange looking objects come to mind. Reading THE BERENSTAIN BEARS GO TO THE DOCTOR may help relieve some of the fears that children have when they know they are going to the doctor.

In the story, Brother and Sister Bear have to go to Dr. Gert Grizzly to have a checkup. Brother isn't too bothered by the whole thing, but Sister is a bit worried. The next day Sister is able to help out some frightened younger cubs while she is in the waiting room and sets an example for all the children to follow.

Overall, a delightful little book that helps relieve children's fears of going to the doctor and gives them a broader perspective about life.

Editorial Review:

It's time for a routine check-up with Dr. Gert Grizzly. Sister Bear is brave about her booster shot, and Brother Bear is fine, but--achoo!--is that Papa Bear sneezing? "A light-hearted approach to the subject with straightforward information."--Appraisal.

Good but not as good as Fuzzy Bee or Squishy Turtle 4 out of 5 stars.
14 of 14 people found this review helpful.

This is another excellent cloth book for babies and toddlers but it doesn't have as many things to pull on or that stick out (which is what most babies enjoy the most) as some of the other cloth books like Fuzzy Bee and Friends or Squishy Turtle and Friends. My son also loves Fluffy Chick and Friends as well. If I had to rank the cloth books in order they would be: 1) Fuzzy Bee, 2) Squishy Turtle, 3) Fluffy Chic, 4) Big Rex, and 5) Snowy Bear. If you don't have the first four, I would get them first and get this book last when you are bored of the others. It is still a good book, just not as good as the others.

Best baby book we have! You must get it! 5 out of 5 stars.

I had been looking for a book to hold my 8 month-old's attention. The plain old board books didn't seem to do it. Enter the Roger Priddy books! This book is her absolute favorite - she can hold it because it bends and it's light, she loves to pat the various textures within the book, the cover is krinkly, she can put it in her mouth because it's a cloth book, and it's the perfect size. She reaches out for this book and prefers it over her whole basket full of toys! We also have Squishy Turtle, and are about to order the other 2 cloth books. If you love this book, also get Roger Priddy's books "baby touch and feel". We have Puppy Love and Zoo's Who and she loves them. They're just adorable and the best toy OR book purchase I've made yet.

Editorial Review:

Soft cloth pages and a rustling cover. Plush character with squeaker. Teether corners for babies to chew. Packaged in a high-quality bag.
