The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners

We’ve been reading The Berenstain Bears books to our three boys (now 9, 6, and 3) for years, and this one is a standout! Its fun, engaging story about manners and values hooks the kids while sparking great discussions. The clear, relatable way it explains why manners matter resonates with our boys, who love connecting the story to their own lives—like when our 6-year-old proudly used “please” after a reminder from Brother Bear! The colorful illustrations and familiar Bear family keep even our 3-year-old glued to the pages, while the text is perfect for our 9-year-old to read aloud to his brothers, building his confidence. We love how it balances entertainment with lessons, making bedtime stories both fun and meaningful. As lifelong fans, we cherish the memories these books create. This one’s a gem for teaching kids morals in a way they’ll love and remember. Highly recommend for families with young readers!

This is a great book. It's fun to read, entertaining, educational, and opens communication. It shows a realistic view of attitudes toward manners with great explanations what they are, why they are needed, and exceptions to rules. I read this with my 6 yo grandson. I loved how engaged he was from cover to cover. I was impressed how he related to the story and connected moments with people or events in his own life. It made me realize how well he paid attention and just how valuable this medium is for teaching. I'm a Berenstain Bears fan, so I definitely recommend this book (and series). The fact it helped create great memories with my daughters and now grands just endears the books to me more. So well done for all ages!!

Our seven yr old has struggled tremendously w all things reading and writing. I cant even begin to quantify the hrs of sleep I've lost worrying, stressing, crying... trying to find something -ANYTHING!- to spark his interest and turn him onto reading. And then I remembered the Berenstain Bears. These funny little bear books are our miracle. I've LOVED to read my whole life. I have the fondest memories of my grandmother reading dozens of Berenstain Bears books to me as a little girl... and then of me re-reading them to her. Introducing our little lovey to the Berenstain Bears has been jst... wonderful. YES - They're too, too much for a six or seven yr old to read solo. They're def intended for co-reading / joint reading. For me - these are the perfect books for teaching grade school kiddos ab theme, plot, character developmt, etc... while slowly transitioning fr me reading to him and daddy [ha!] to him reading to us. Basically: Highly recommend. =)

Great colorful book - vivid photos, large lettuce. Amazing stories. Comes with stickers.

Great books my daughter who is 35 years old now enjoyed these books I read them to her growing up and now I've brought them for my grandchildren to read.

Great kids seris with a more biblical world view. Sometimes when the books talk about God, the theology is kind of iffy in my opinion, but i like that i don't have to worry much about progressive ideas being fed to my kids. My kids love reading and collecting these books.

Cute story to help kids learn

Great book to help kids learn manners! My daughter thinks it is funny that Papa Bear forgets his manners and frequently has to do extra chores. Love that it also addresses adult behavior since it is not always the kids that have bad manners! I loved the Berenstain Bears as a kid and I love reading these to my preschooler.

This book encourages deception. Kids learn to fake manners just to shut up mom. Thus no understanding of manners. Just teaches them to act nice because that’s what you should do. But there’s no understanding in that. Even though mama bear touches on why you should use manners, there’s no resolution that that point was understood by the other family members. Weird dynamic with papa bear. And although I regained some hope during his grocery store search, it was lost during the car scene. Just bad. Overall misses the mark on what manners is. Bad.

Great book with important lessons about manners. . . . for kids and adults alike! My kids like to review how they're doing manner-wise when we read this book.

子どもにマナーを教えるのはなかなか難しいのでこの本を買ってみました。マナーを守らない子どもたちにママベアーが課したペナルティーとは？そして、それにひっかかったのは誰？？微笑んでしまうストーリーですが、子どもにとっては少し退屈かも？！

História interessante mas achei o nível difícil para crianca que está iniciando o aprendizado do inglês.

Received a damaged book. The corner was torn. And the print seems a little dull compared to the other Berenstain book that i have.
