jgarlough's Full Review: Stan Berenstain and Jan Berenstain - The Berenstai...
My four year old grandson has many of the Berenstain Bear books and loves to have them read to him. His mom and dad have book cases full of books for him to choose from. He asked me to read The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners. It's funny how he tells me part of the story before I get it read to him.
These books are written for the young and are very easy for them to understand. They are very colorful and teach a lesson! The books are written by Stan and Jan Berenstain.
This book "The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners" shows how these unhappy bears argue because they have forgotten their manners.
Your child will learn that not saying please and thank you the problems start. Other bad manners are: name-calling, pushing, throwing food, and more.
Mama Bear made a plan where if anyone was rude, they had a job to do as their penalty. If you interruped someone, you had to dust; if you banged the door, you had to clean the attic. Even Papa Bear had to dust because he interrupted Mama Bear!
After awhile Brother and Sister Bear decided that it was better to be good than to have a punishment. They also noticed that after awhile it was beginning to be a habit.
Parents do have to repeat over and over again the good manners. Sooner or later they learn. My grandson tells me about some of his friends who need to learn manners. I highly recommend this book and other Berenstain Bear books such as: The Berenstain Bears in the Dark and The Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist. I am sure that your children/child will love to have the Berenstain Bears read to them. Enjoy!
