5 out of 5 stars Love this classic Berenstain book!   November 12, 2008
This was one of my favorite books as a child, and I bought this to share with my own children to encourage their love of reading. The pictures are captivating and the story has fun and excitement to keep their interest up. My 3 and 5 year old love this book as much as I did and still do!


5 out of 5 stars My 3 year old daughter LOVES this book!   August 23, 2008
This is such a great book. My daughter has loved it since she was 2 1/2. It is so funny and entertaining. I think it is the best in the Beginner Books Berenstain Bears collection (we have them all).


5 out of 5 stars Hurray, hurray...   February 29, 2008
I remember reading this book as a child over and over. At the age of a young reader, I clearly understood the humor and irony. To this day, as I depart on every vacation, the first words of this book ring in my head, "Hurray, hurray. We're on our way. Our summer vacation starts today." Classic...how can you beat that?


5 out of 5 stars Do as I say, not as I do   December 10, 2003
This book is a humorous account of the Bears on vacation. When the Bears arrive at their vacation house, Papa Bear points out all of the dangers and things to avoid. But he promptly ignores his own advice, with fearful consequences. The book has some tension, but it's not too scary. Some children may pick up on the message that when a parent advises against doing something, there is usually a good reason and that those who ignore the advice may get hurt. The text is presented in rhyme, and there are about 550 words.


3 out of 5 stars I feel so sorry for Papa Bear   December 2, 2002

Poor, poor Papa Bear... In THE BEARS' VACATION, by Stan and Jan Berenstain, Small Bear gets taught a few simple rules for when you're at the beach. And although this seems harmless, for every rule Papa Bear recites, something happens to him. For instance,Rule number six is to keep a sharp lookout whil you are out on a boat. Easy enough, right? Well, as Papa Bear 'keeps a look out' for Small Bear, a huge ocean liner comes up from the opposite direction than the way Papa Bear looks. All in all, I found this a fairly humoring story. I gave it a 3 out of 5.
