I really enjoy reading the Berenstain Bears books to my two children (ages 5 & 7). They do a wonderful job of modeling important life lessons. This book shows how one little incident can snowball into a big fight, and sometimes even draw parents into an argument.My only disappointment: I wish the authors had shown the cubs apologizing to each other. The story ends with, "So Brother and Sister Bear hugged and made up. And got along just beautifully-until the next time, anyway." The story shows them fighting, so it would have been better balanced if they had also modeled the "making-up" process. When the cubs realize that they don't remember what started the fight, they simply stop fighting. Mama & Papa do not have to sit through a whole "who wronged whom" session.Anyway, it is a good springboard for discussion of "what would you do?" and "why do you think s/he did that?" with young children. I would definitely recommend it.
"The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight," by Stan and Jan Berenstain, is another wonderful entry in this excellent series of illustrated children's books. In this volume, there's trouble brewing in the Bear family when Brother and Sister Bear start feuding. But, with a little helpful guidance from their caring parents, the sparring siblings learn some life lessons about fighting--and about making up.This book pairs an easy-to-read text with colorful illustrations. These semi-human bears have an amusingly "cartoony" look to them, and the best of the book's illustrations contain delightful details. I especially love the pictures that show the Bears going through their daily routine--eating breakfast, riding the bus to school, etc. I give "The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight" an enthusiastic recommendation.
A classic line from my childhood, hahahaha. I had forgotten until seeing the "look inside" image of that page!I had a ton of these books as a child and I adored them. Most of the ones we had that I remember well are all the titles published around 1986-1987, which includes this one.I actually got along very well with my older brother, but we sometimes annoyed each other so I related to this book very well.I am looking all these up now to bookmark for any future children I might have... as trying to swipe all our childhood ones from my parents' house would probably result in another fight with my Brother Bear!Fun tip for parents, for when your kids are a bit older (I was able to do this at 4-5-6 but depends on the kid)... My mom took some time to read this book (and some other Bears ones also!) aloud on tape, and she used a toy telephone BEEP as the "When you hear this sound, turn the page" sound. She marked all our books with a code (this one I believe had two gold star stickers on the cover... "Get the Gimmes" had three green stars, etc.) and the same stickers on the tape. So if she was busy doing dishes or cooking dinner, I could find the correct tape and listen to her read the book.My mom is a genius, and I can't wait to make custom audio books (CDs maybe?) for my nieces & nephews & my own kids.
My kids love it. And we bought it at just the right time. Our two kids are just at the age where daily squabbles occur, and this book sheds some light on problem solving, forgiving, loving each other, in a funny and entertaining way.
I like to bring this bedtime book out after a rough day between our 5-year old and 4-year old boys. Like the Berenstain Bears books, the story allows us to discuss the bears' behavior first and follow that up with a discussion about the boys' behavior.For young readers, the Berenstain Bears offer an easy-to-understand storyline to which children can relate.This is one of the better, more accessible books in the Berenstain Bears collection. We also own and recommend:The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with ChoresThe Berenstain Bears Help Around the HouseThe Berenstain Bears Forget Their MannersThe Berenstain Bears Get in a FightThe Berenstain Bears Learn About StrangersThe Berenstain Bears and the Bad DreamYou can pick up these books at a good price through 's 4-for-3 promotion. I like the soft covers, which can be rolled up as stocking stuffers.
What my kids loved about the Berenstain Bears' books as that they often mirrored their own feelings and problems. With three small children, I found that useful in getting a lesson across without forcing anything, and getting them talking about their feelings.This book helped them to see how fights among themselves could begin and what to do about them. Unfortunately, it is Papa Bear who loses his temper when his two cubs don't behave -- just like fathers do on TV shows! Not good. But with the help of Mama Bear and the neat illustration of the storm, all in the Bear family learn a lesson that may just last for a while!
I thought this book was a good one with having three daughters. I have read these books to my oldest which is now 18. I bought this for the 4 year old and the 11 month old will benefit when she is of age. Yes I am instilling the no fighting even now but this is a good way to show examples of how you can fight but do so the right way.My 18 year old read all six books that were purchased and she approved of them all...lol
