The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food (First Time Books(R)) Review
User Submitted The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food (First Time Books(R)) ReviewsMarch 16, 2008 Good book! My dad used to read this book to me so I bought it to read to my daughter. It teaches a good lesson about candy consumption. I love these books! December 4, 2007 Great learning tool! The Bearenstain Bears books are excellent teaching tools. This book says exactly what I wanted to say to my 4 year old grandaughter. It is a way to explain to a child why they are becoming overweight, in a way they can understand, in a way that is easy to hear. November 16, 2007 Try out - Benny's Burgeritis!! It's a Hamburger HOOT! If you want your kids to stay away from "junk food" then let them read (and adults will love it too!!) - Benny's Burgeritis! Meet Benny Buttons, a stubborn little boy who hates vegetables (he calls lima beans- boogers!) and only wants to eat hamburgers! He dreams about them, reads about them, until one day the unexpected happens that changes his LIFE FOREVER! The family doc comes to the rescue- good 'ol Dr. K.Chupp (get it?- ketchup!) - Is this real? or is it a dream? or nightmare? Benny Buttons can't go to school looking like "that"!! The kids will try to take a bite out of him!! Learn to cold, crisp facts that are sure to leave you veggie-happy! November 2, 2007 Benny's Burgeritis now available!! ~ with "Too Much Junk Food" Check out Benny's Burgeritis now available with Berenstain Bears ~ Too Much Junk Food! It's a hilariously funny story of a little boy named Benny Buttons who refuses to eat his vegetables despite his mother's repeated warnings, until one day the unexpected happens that changes Benny Buttons' life FOREVER! It's a hamburger hoot!! Honest! (I know Benny Buttons very well because my mother and sister wrote the book with me and every other stubborn hamburger-eatin' kid in mind!) July 15, 2007 Little one loves this book I am not a huge fan of this book, but my daughter LOVES it, so I am giving it 5 stars. She refused to try a sticky bun tonight because 'it's junk food', so I appreciate that (we mostly eat healthy around here). I just hope that she never points at anyone out in public and says something like "they eat way too much junk food". January 24, 2007 A classic, even if you like junk food I buy this book for all the little people in my life, after growing up loving it myself. It's a Berenstain Bears book, so it needs little introduction on its moral qualities and instruction. But it's a good book that offers a balanced look on... eating balanced. But I especially enjoy the illustrations of the junk food. They're up there with Hooper Humperdinck - Not Him! January 19, 2007 better teachers than i am... l bought these books to give to my little nephew for christmas. we are now well grown out of berenstein bears' books, but my children and i remember them well! the kids loved them because, among other things, they were a longish and satisfying read with mom or dad, not a quickie, but a book with a real story, particularly effective for delaying bedtime with a long book. all the books teach and some of the lessons still echo down the years. 'messy build-up' has kept the kids' rooms fairly tidy for years. manners? well, manners pave the way in life like few other things and are so critically important. junk food? there's an important message to teach about junk food and we needed all the help we could get with reinforcing it. we have a foot high stack of the berenstein books upstairs, carefully tucked away for the next generation. it is such a pleasure to buy them and give them as truly valuable gifts. November 15, 2006 Good Book This is a good book. It teaches that eating junk food just makes a person chubby and isn't providing any nutrients the body needs. However, when Mamma Bear hides the food in the freezer, that isn't a good idea especially since she tells them. A kid could just go there and grab the treats. Further, denying kids treats totally is not a good idea either. Better is to let them have one treat a day or every other day then to totally not let them have any at all. Then when they do get treats like on Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, they will binge on them. Also the part about the bears all running all the way home is too farfetched. The home is far away and if they have not been exercising as they should have been then that jog is too much to take at that time for them. They should work their way up first so they don't get sore muscles. December 29, 2005 Great teaching book for all libraries! This is a cute book even without a message attached to it and it makes my little one laugh every time we read it. Dealing with eating too much candy and junk food is the subject and it starts with mama seeing that her cubs were eating all the time and getting quite chubby. So, after running into the family doctor at the grocery store, the bear family gets to see a slide show on the body and how it works. Plus, they learn the importance of eating good food and not the junk. The best part is something that all of us have difficulty doing. Mama bear throws out all the junk food in the house (actually, she puts it in the freezer) and provides only healthy snacks like carrot sticks, nuts and raisins. We've even tried this and believe me, it works. There's now a preference over candy for nuts and raisins (especially the yogurt ones!) and candy, well, it's just not that prevalent anymore. I highly recommend this one - it will stick with your children for life. December 15, 2005 Wonderful! The world lost a real gem of a writer when Stan Berenstain passed on November 29. Together, Berenstain and his wife, Jan, and eventually their two sons, created books featuring lovable but flawed characters who tackle just about every real issue that faces families. This book is no exception. Most people, especially kids, have a tendency to overindulge when it comes to junk food. This book shows that eating healthy is a lifelong pursuit (Papa Bear has the same troubles that the kids have). It's not intended as a primer on nutrition or exercize habits, but rather as a fictional story intended to promote conversations among families about healthy lifestyles. And for what it is, it's wonderful. For more The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Junk Food (First Time Books(R)) reviews click here.
