The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV, Stan Berenstain and Jan Berenstain


Stan and Jan Berenstain illustrate a wonderful children book series on the Bear Family.

Papa, Mama, Brother, and Sister Bear live in a cozy little tree house in Bear Country. Mama Bear does not allow her family to spend too much time in front of the TV for a week. The Bear family finds ways to have fun and keep themselves busy. They watch less TV when they are allowed and they do not even miss the TV.

Ricardo's mum, Catherine thinks the book is great for children, as it is relatively short and very simple. He likes the book and Berenstain Bears Series books. Ricardo likes to watch Berenstain Bears Series on Treehouse TV, Canada. To read it again in book, it really grasps Ricardo's interest, according to Catherine.

Little tips from Catherine: when you read the story to your kids, make sure it is only the story you're reading. Otherwise, it'll sounds too much like preaching...
