The Bears are having a family reunion, and all their relatives are invited. The tree house is ready, the tables are set, and the fun is about to start.
Beginning readers will feel like part of the family with this charming verse book from the much-loved Berenstains.
Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 250 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' interest in children's books has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.
Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books—even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.
Since Stan's death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.

Delightful story, but more of a level two reader,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Family Reunion (I Can Read Book 1) (Paperback)
Though this series of An I Can Read Book is labeled as a Level 1 Beginning Reading Book, I felt that it is more of a Level 2 book because of some of the higher vocabulary used. My daughter is five-and-a-half and will start kindergarten this fall, and we both felt that these books were a step up from other level one books, for example the Step Into Reading series. Though she was able to read this book independently, I just feel parents should be aware that this book has some advanced vocabulary and complex sentence structure which beginning readers might have some difficulty with, e.g.:"I'm happy that we have good weather for our family get-together!" "We've done our best to prepare to welcome the family to our lair." "Look! Twin Cousins Mike and Ike are riding their two-seater bike." The books in the series have engaging story lines and each page has beautiful full-color illustrations. This particular title is about the Berenstain Bears' family reunion and it is written in a delightful rhyming format which makes it a fun read! This is an excellent series that will motivate young children to read.

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Family Reunion (I Can Read Book 1) (Paperback)
I Love this book! I always buy Berenstain Bears as "transition books" for my daughter. We read it every year the night before our family reunion and talk about it so she knows what to expect. It really helps her to take her book with her. She isn't as shy when she is showing off something "cool."
