This is a Berenstain Bears classic, and one I will always treasure. Some of my greatest childhood memories were days I spent with my grandparents, and all the strange and wonderful things we learned and discovered together.It is not always easy for kids to leave their parents for days at a time, but this book is a wonderful story that helps kids to overcome their fears of spending time away (a similiar theme is developed in "The Berenstain Bears Go To Camp.").The story is fun for kids and adults alike, and families can relate well to it. Additionally, the illustrations are colorful and engaging....this is not necessarily a book for first time readers, but early readers, and there are other Berenstain Bears books with easier words. This a great one for kids who have been reading for some time and otherwise works as a great story to read aloud to your kids.Highly recommended as a cornerstone to any children's library or Berenstain Bears collection.
All of my children enjoyed this book, and the message, of spending a week at Grandma's (the prospect of which has Brother and Sister Bear somewhat anxious), and the "old folks" turning out to be livewires and loads of fun, is a great one. The text (and amount of it per page) is probably a little much for beginning readers. The illustrations, like all Berenstain Bears Books, are charming, especially those depicting a honeymooning Mother and Father Bear as thinner and active (so that the kid bears don't recognize them!). Overall, a solid book that kids will enjoy and parents won't mind reading repeatedly.
I chose this book for my in-laws to give to my son for his sixth birthday. They asked me to pick out a book I thought he would like. He and his little brother have always enjoyed the Berenstain Bears, so I thought this one was appropriate. The story tells about Mama and Papa going on a second honeymoon and leaving the cubs with Grandma and Grandpa. My boys and I have seen the television episode based on this book many times, so I was excited to read the book to them. However, we were all a little disappointed that the story paled in comparison. On tv, a good portion of the story revolves around Mama and Papa going back to where they spent their honeymoon only to realize that the place (and they, themselves) have changed quite a bit. Their visit to Grizzly Mountain Lodge is only seen in the book as "thoughts" by the grandparents and cubs about what Mama and Papa are doing. It's a good book, and I would recommend it to those who love the Berenstain Bears. However, neither my boys nor I liked it as much as the tv episode or even as much as a lot of the other BB books.
I sent this book to my grandson just prior to his very first spend the night we me and his grandfather. It was a super hit and my daughter told me that the book provoked lots of questions and created much excitement about this first adventure. FYI: We had such a fun weekend without any problems!!
This is a good book about spending time with your grandparents when your parents are on vacation. I got an extra copy for a child in my class who had to stay with his grandparents. My daughter and I absolutely love the Berenstain Bears and collect them all. We loved adding this to our collection.
Very sweet book. Bought it for my 4 year old before she spent her first weekend with her Grandparents. She loved the story of brother and sister bear being worried at first, but having fun in the end!
My children have several of the Berenstain Bears books but this one is a favorite. The language is delightful and deals very well with differences in older folks by being light-hearted yet respectful. This book is a hidden treasure just like the grandparents in the book.
I bought this book for my son for Christmas and he LOVES it! It tells and shows the wonderful relationship between Grandkids and their Grandparents and what a real treasure Grandparents are in a life!
