March
The Berenstain Bears and
Once again, the Berenstains have focused on a subject of great concern for parents and kids alike: guns.

When Ferdy the nerd gets paired with Too-Tall the jock in an assignment to study inventions, the one subject they can agree on is guns. While Ferdy's interest is strictly intellectual, Too-Tall's is, unfortunately, basically bang-bang. Things come to a head at Bear Country School when Too-Tall brings in a monster squirt gun that looks an awful lot like the real thing. The whole class learns a valuable lesson: in the wrong hands, guns can be bad business--whether they are real or not.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book with a Good Lesson., October 3, 2011

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and No Guns Allowed (Paperback)

I read this book at lot of times. The thing I liked about it was that it showed my kids how dangerous guns can be. It's true. Now, my kids don't like to even think about playing those gun video games and watching any of that trash out there. The book also is funny and entertaining. Especially in the parts where the cubs are angry about the way they are paired up but finally accept it and go along pretty well. There is no absolute violence in this book. It teaches a good lesson, and is entertaining for kids to read. I love the Berenstain Bear Chapter Books as much as I love the old short story Berenstains.

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and No Guns Allowed (Big Chapter Books(TM)) (Library Binding)

More drivel from the left. So many of the Berenstain Bears books offer true lessons for little ones. My kids love them. Unfortunately the authors have decided to use their bully pulpit to push there own antigun agenda. I will educate my kids to the "dangers" of guns and other inanimate objects...I neither need nor appreciate your input Mr. Berenstain. While you are certainly free to write whatever you want...so am I free to spend my money (or not to spend it) on whatever I feel is inappropriate for my family. Save your more and send a donation to the NRA.

I wanted to replace a damaged library book, and hadn't been able to locate a copy. This book is good, the condition was excellent, and I had it in my hands in just a few days. Good service!
