The Berenstain Bears' Bedtime Battle (Berenstain Bears) Review
Who wants to go to bed when you can play with dinosaurs, have a tea party or get a piggyback ride on Papa Bear? Brother Bear and Sister Bear are doing everything they can to postpone their bedtime – even if that means putting Mama and Papa Bear to bed first! Ages 3–7 User Submitted The Berenstain Bears' Bedtime Battle (Berenstain Bears) ReviewsApril 14, 2008 A Very Funny Book My wife and I enjoyed reading this book to our kids, 4 and 6. They laughed out loud at the picture of the pink bath bubbles getting out of hand. The story also sends a good message for families--try to see things from the other family members' point of view and try to have some sympathy for them. The fact that Mama and Papa Bear get so tired that they fall asleep while trying to put their cubs to bed is very cute and true to life. Brother and Sister Bear are concerned about them and don't want to disturb them. I think the message of "givie your parents a break!" will get accross to kids very effectively in this charming book. April 1, 2008 DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I would love to ask the authors what in the world they were thinking!!! Absolutely terrible book. Berenstein Bears are known for having a LESSON to be learned - I don't understand what the heck happened with this tale! It ends with mom and dad falling asleep after being so worn out by one stalling tactic after another and brother and sister bear staying up reading in their bed!! WHAT?!?! I couldn't believe it when I read the story - that is seriously how this ends?!?! No helpful lesson, no wise words to encourage your child why to skip the bedtime battle and just go to bed like mom and dad ask - nope, apparently the lesson here is if you run your parents ragged enough, they'll fall asleep and you can stay up. I was stunned and still can't believe this is actually a Berenstein Bears book. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE I DID!!! January 27, 2008 Not the same Go get another Bearenstain Bears Book; this one almost seems like a rip-off version. The BB books are my son's (and my) favorite series. Unfortunately, in this one there is no moral, like the usual books have. The story dosen't really seem to have any point at all. January 4, 2008 The kids win. Like other reviewers, I was disappointed with this book. We've come to expect much from the Berenstain Bears -- foremost: a lesson. This book details a frustrating situation that leaves the parents exhausted. Instead of going to bed like Papa Bear instructs, the kids dilly-dally around with toys, baths, books and more. The parents present a disunited front and the kids respond with chaos. In the end, Brother and Sister put Mama and Papa to bed then stay up to read books. The respect and obedience usually present in these stories is missing. In its place is whining, excuses and procrastination. I may have liked the book more, if I had bought it with different expectations. But with these loved characters, this story merely disappoints. I'm returning the book before reading it to my children. August 31, 2007 Another disappointed Berenstain Bears fan... I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this book. I love the Berenstain Bears and thought this book would offer my children some insight into dealing with our own "bedtime battles." Isn't that what our beloved Berenstain Bears books do? Teach a lesson? There is no moral in this book; Mama and Papa simply fall asleep reading to the cubs. Thus, the message this book seems to send is that if a child dawdles and fusses long enough, he/she can stay up all night reading books. I'm disappointed. I bought this book to address the problem, not to reinforce it. August 9, 2007 Disappointing Berenstain Bears My family and I are HUGE fans of the Berenstain Bears books- mostly for the lessons they teach. This particular volume didn't teach much of a lesson. Brother and Sister Bear were having "Bedtime Battles" every night and it was resolved by Mama and Papa Bear going to sleep before them. I think the older Berestain Bears books are better for lessons than the new ones. July 24, 2007 Interesting Ending Brother and Sister bear do not want to go to bed. They are told to pick up their toys but putts at it so they can stay up later. Papa puts in too much bubbles in their bubble bath. They argue over which stories to have read. In the end, Mama and Papa are asleep and the cubs lay in their beds reading. May 13, 2007 bedtime battle book i love all of these books and this is just another good one February 1, 2007 Love them! I read them as a kid and now my kids read them. I've still got all of mine. Every week when I would get me allowance, I would buy a Berenstain Bears book. I love them! September 1, 2005 Bruce's Best The Berenstain Bears are my son's most FAVORITE bedtime stories, no matter what the title we have to read at least three before he will even consider lying down.
