True to life story but where's the ending????,

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze (Paperback)
Berenstain Bears First Time Books usually touch upon some true to life problem that children encounter in their lives. The stories end with some meaning, helpful solution or an understanding that maybe it's not really a big problem. "Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze" does neither of these. The story is true to the Beanie Baby craze but there is no solution or even an understanding at the end. My children and myself were for the first time truly confused and disappointed with an ending of a Berenstain Bear book. If the goal of the book was for the children to come up with better ending to this story, then we succeeded. I will still continue buying this series but I will not recommend this book to anyone.

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze (Paperback)
This book came right on the heels of the Beany Baby toy craze, but it fits perfectly for anyone, kid or grownup, who spends more time/money/interest on whatever the latest craze be, (Barbie, Yu-gi-oh, Digimon, the JFK auction, etc). I read this one out loud to my son, putting in sound effects and laughing at the characters, at the little whaddevers they were maniacally trying to buy, at the monomania of the cubs over the whole mess. I fear this may hit too close to home for some people--ever notice how many Beanys turn up at yard sales these days? SPOILER ALERT!!! As another reviewer noted, there is no real ending, the story just trails off, with Brother Bear's "What the heck did we just do?" look, and nobody's really learned anything. Now of course, there is a moral regarding passing fads, but it's just not as spelled out as explicitly as in most of the other books. Personally this had me on the floor laughing, my favorite line being "the only thing you could do with them was just LOOK at them", but I can see where other parents would object. Buy this one at your own risk, and write your own ending.

My 6-year old is a huge fan of the Berenstain Bears books, and this is one of his favorites. He likes the story and he understands the moral, even if he doesn's always follow the lesson learned!
