The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores

Great Berenstain bears book, even though my child tells me they don't need to read this book because they do all their chores! LOL!!!!

As with all Berenstain Bear books, always a lesson to learn.

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.

Stan & Jan Berenstain's classic Berenstain Bears stories were personal favorites throughout my childhood, and now I use them often, whether for reading to young children or for teaching English to older children and adults. Not only are they beautifully illustrated, consistently humorous, and full of educational content. They also teach morals and provide guidelines for social interaction in a way that's neither patronizing, nor puerile, nor pedantic. 'The Trouble With Chores' specifically addresses the problems most of us have managing our time with respect to menial tasks, but focuses on a family approach to such an issue. Note that this book was published in 2005, fairly late in the Bears series when the family includes Honey bear, the baby sister of Brother and Sister bear (just in case you've already read some Berenstain Bear books and do not wish to be surprised by this addition).

Colorful pictures. Engaging story

The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores helped to teach my four-year-old about the importance of chores and what it means to have responsibilities. This book tells a great story about how families work together to essentially make a house a home. I just love the way that Stan and Jan Berenstain teach children important lessons at the same time they are being entertained. My son and I love to read books and the Berenstain Bear Books are some of our favorites. He has a whole collection of Berenstain Bear Books that we purchased through sellers on Amazon. We find all the books at bottom-dollar prices. The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores was purchased dirt cheap and the book was received in excellent condition just six days after the order had been placed.

Great kids seris with a more biblical world view. Sometimes when the books talk about God, the theology is kind of iffy in my opinion, but i like that i don't have to worry much about progressive ideas being fed to my kids. My kids love reading and collecting these books.

Great books for kids! Good stories and meanings/lessons.
