By	Marlowe Dale (Bay City, Michigan) - See all my reviews

This book is about how the cubs start wanting their presents for Christmas. Brother bear wants just a couple of things and makes a small Christmas list, while sister bear makes a really long one. Sister gets thiknking and she realizes she's being greedy.

I reccomend this book to any child who is havinbg a want problem. The point of this story is don't be greedy. This is for children 5-8 yrs. of age.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good book about caring, December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a good book about caring, especially during the Christmas season. At first Sister wants to receive many presents, but latter realizes that Christmas is about giving. it deals with Santa Bear and even wonders how he does such magical things. This book answers these questions in a way children can understand.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Bears Meet Santa, December 3, 1999

By A Customer

This books takes place right after thanksgiving, and the Bear family go shopping together to the Bear Country Mall. Papa and Mama bear are a little worried about how the cubs will react to all the excitement about christmas.Papa tries to assure Mama that they are good and calm little cubs, but at that moment they are in awe and jumping for joy about the big new toy store. They see all kinds of toys they want. As they are walking thru the mall they see a sign about Santa Bear coming soon. This got the little cubs all fired up and excited.As the season rolled on the excitement grew bigger and bigger.The cubs had made their christmas lists to give to Santa,and Sister Bear got a little to carried away. She made a list a mile long with tons of toys.Brother Bear calmly explained to her the true meaning of christmas, so she shortened her list up to a few things,and learned the true meaning of christmas.The cubs even bought their parents some nice gifts. this book is one of my personal favorites and I recommend that people of all ages read this wonderful book.
