Uses humor to help little bears learn the value of chores, 2008-07-26
I've reviewed several of the Berenstain Bears books available at Amazon and find most of them to be very handy tools to reinforce good manners and behaviors with our young children.

This book isn't the best of the bunch but it is good enough that I'd recommend it, especially if you're buying a set of books through Amazon's 4-for-3 promotion.

Papa Bear once again takes the brunt of the jokes. As the little bears learn how important their help is to keeping the house clean and running smoothly, they have Papa Bear as a sort of comedic release valve.

The lesson is simple: everyone needs to pitch in and help and not expect Mama Bear to do it all herself.

If that is a lesson you need to reinforce in your home, this is a good tool to help you do it.

Start a conversation with you child, 2007-01-30
I love all the Berenstein Bears books. They can provide a good starting point for a conversation with your child. Don't look to these books for answers on how to handle a problem. They aren't meant for that.
In this one, we see what happens when Mama gets tired of everyone else avoiding their chores, so she avoids hers, too. Once the others see what the house is like, they start to pitch in to help.
This book started a good discussion between me and my 7 year old about what chores are and why we should do them. We talked about Mama Bear's feelings when Papa and the cubs didn't do their chores. We also talked about what happened to the tree house when Mama quit doing her chores and how that made everyone else feel.
These are great books for reading anytime and are easy for my child to read alone and understand.

Great Book , 2006-11-15
This book is great and shows what can happen if we don't all pitch in and do our share. It was fair for Mama Bear to just say screw it and go relax and have fun. She was working her butt off and needed a break. When Papa and the Cubs didn't have her to do all their work, they had to do it themselves and it had piled up horribly. Brother was upset that he lost his marbles but instead of giving in to his whining Mama just told them they pry in the vacuum. Like saying if he had picked them up that would never have happened. Same with sister's gripe.
