4.0 out of 5 stars The Smoke Lesson by Chris C. Geneva, NY, February 4, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Berenstain Bear Scouts and the Sinister Smoke Ring (Berenstain Bear Scouts) (Paperback)

Book Title: The Berenstine Bears

In this book the Berenstein Bears are trying to stop Smokey the Moose from selling tobacco to children. Four children and their papa bear went out to stop the moose. On their way they found two kids,Joe and Sammy, smoking the Mooses' tobacco that he sold to them. The children had a meeting with Smokey to try to get him to stop selling tobacco to small kids and adults, but the meeting didn't work. finally the children and the papa decided to get the police involved.

I think this book was very good. It tells children that they should not smoke. Sometimes things look cool because the person selling them looks cool, but it can kill you. I think the children were smart to go after someone who is bad on the inside that was selling things that could hurt them. You should buy this book for your children because it teaches them how harmful smoking can be.

1.0 out of 5 stars Corny dated book bores kids to tears, November 27, 2001

This book is extremely out-of-date and cheesy in its depiction of Bad Guys Who Smoke. The only reason I read it to my son was because it was assigned by the school (who'd gotten free copies from the state. I can see why they were free). I would urge people NOT to bother buying this book. Of course kids shouldn't smoke, but I think this book will backfire with its corny lingo that was fit for another era. Smoking stinks, but let's find a more up-to-date way to tell our kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good, August 15, 2001

This review is from: The Berenstain Bear Scouts and the Sinister Smoke Ring (Berenstain Bear Scouts) (Paperback)

It teachs kids about smoking and peer preasure. It has a pretty good moral except it has brother bear (eight or nine) smoking which is pretty well.. extremely unrealistick. Except for that it is pretty good, except the action is only in the last 1 or 2 chapters.
