I'm happy my kids love them too. My 4 year old and I went to the library yesterday and checked out a Berenstain Bears book, the one about being grouchy. <BR/>ErinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-17460022040592917942008-09-30T16:38:00.000-06:002008-09-30T16:38:00.000-06:00It's funny you mentioned that, Tracy.

The newer books have a different feel to them, that's for sure.<BR/><BR/>The newer ones have a new sense of "crudeness" too, such as Little Lady's dog poop on the floor and stuff like that which probably wasn't in any of the older books.Rena Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02328844122193024220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-3228052620358589052008-09-30T07:29:00.000-06:002008-09-30T07:29:00.000-06:00Our family also loves these bears!

I remember reading that 'someone' felt some of the books were not politically correct and that Papa bear was not always appropriate. I have to laugh because I read the books to my kids and we have never found this! I guess there is always 'someone' out there who will find fault with everything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-89861757286904129452008-09-29T19:55:00.000-06:002008-09-29T19:55:00.000-06:00My family always enjoyed the Berenstain bears, too...My family always enjoyed the Berenstain bears, too. I'm really dating myself here, but I remember as a child that the Berenstains had a comic strip in a women's magazine my mother read. Lady's Home Journal? McCalls? One of the two, I think. The strip used human characters. I looked for it in every issue. I think this was before they did any books.Marciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10006966091789130047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2910901195415494293.post-22682533428799439322008-09-29T15:25:00.000-06:002008-09-29T15:25:00.000-06:00I remember being so sad when he passed away.

Jonathan was in pre-school since 6 weeks old and knew he had to share but didn't actually get the concept about sharing until I read a Bearenstein Bears book to him one day. That was already years ago but I appreciate those stories now just as I did when I was little. And so will Jonathan's children and their children and so on.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08312192221422198612noreply@blogger.com
