The Berenstain Bears books were a staple in my house.
Often being bought by my parents to teach me a lesson.

I remember this one being presented to us.
It was a tough blow

I remember reading this book as a kid and liking it. It's a good book for young kids and parents/guardians will like reading it to them.

Daughter loves this book

Daughter loves this book. By far her favorite Berenstein bears. Most nights can’t go to sleep without reading it. We also implemented this in our house for a whole week and her at three years old understood exactly what we were doing.

I read this book to my kids and now to their kids. The illustrations might be dated, but the message is valid, even applicable to all screen time. Not a concept when published in 1984.

I used to read these with my parents all the bloody time! Most of them were so loved that they had all fallen apart.

The Bears have become TV zombies. Mama steps in and connects them to nature again. This is pretty good and TV is addictive. They should really run some AA meetings for TV addiction. I could have used that at one point in my life. I can easily get sucked into TV world.

The kids love the bears so this was a favorite in our house, although the kids weren’t crazy about the message. The nephew is a TV zombie. He will detach after awhile, but he loves TV and the Niece likes TV and she gets bored of it after a while. The Nephew couldn’t understand what was wrong with TV. I like Mama having the kids watch the stars come out. The kids did not want to do that.

A fun book from 1984.

This was written in an era when TV was still supposed to be the downfall of society because it was new and children liked it.
