This is a Berenstain Bears classic, and one I will always treasure. Some of my greatest childhood memories were days I spent with my grandparents, and all the strange and wonderful things we learned and discovered together.

It is not always easy for kids to leave their parents for days at a time, but this book is a wonderful story that helps kids to overcome their fears of spending time away (a similiar theme is developed in "The Berenstain Bears Go To Camp.").

The story is fun for kids and adults alike, and families can relate well to it. Additionally, the illustrations are colorful and engaging.

...this is not necessarily a book for first time readers, but early readers, and there are other Berenstain Bears books with easier words. This a great one for kids who have been reading for some time and otherwise works as a great story to read aloud to your kids.

Highly recommended as a cornerstone to any children's library or Berenstain Bears collection.

All of my children enjoyed this book, and the message, of spending a week at Grandma's (the prospect of which has Brother and Sister Bear somewhat anxious), and the "old folks" turning out to be livewires and loads of fun, is a great one. The text (and amount of it per page) is probably a little much for beginning readers. The illustrations, like all Berenstain Bears Books, are charming, especially those depicting a honeymooning Mother and Father Bear as thinner and active (so that the kid bears don't recognize them!). Overall, a solid book that kids will enjoy and parents won't mind reading repeatedly.

My daughter loves the Bearnstein bear series. The stories are funny with great pictures and also teach good lessons. She liked the book so much, I heard her talking about it in her sleep:)

I used to read these to my friend's little girl. When my twin's were due, that same little girl (by then a teenager) sent me a collection of books. My children loved them all and we read at least two Berenstain Bears stories each and every night. Well now my friend's little girl is all grown up, married and expecting her own baby... what better baby gift than a collection of Berenstain Bears books? They are a very likable family of bears and each book has a little theme and wholesome message. They are great for 2-4 year olds. Amazon let me ship the box directly to their door for FREE! Thanks Amazon!

We actually got this book for my daughter's grandma because we had gotten other Berenstain Bears' books that grandma was reading to my daughter and she commented that she loved the Bears!
