Book helps broach a difficult topic for young kids

Our children caught the commercial bug. Try as we might, we couldn't explain the concept to a 4-year old and a 5-year old. They saw kids enjoying cereal, toys and other stuff and figured it had to be good.

The Berenstain Bears book allowed our kids to discuss the bears' problem first before relating it to their own challenge. We bring this book out about 1-2 times per month at bedtime and revisit the concept.

We own several Berenstain Bears books and they have worked very well in helping us instill good values and manners in our children.

Familiar characters, unique subject matter

Children love the Berenstain Bears-- the Berenstain bears have been a source of comfort before dentists' visits, shared important information about safety, and helped in times of transition like new schools or moves. This time, the friendly bears tackle the problem with commercials. Young children are exposed to commercials on TV, the radio, even at school-- this book deals with the "I need that because I saw it on TV" syndrome in a very clever, gentle, and clear way. Highly recommended.

Greedy Bears

Sister and Brother bear want EVERYTHING they see on the TV Commercials. Whether it is a new cereal or a new candy or a new toy or whatever. They want it and they HAVE to have it.

The cubs keep pestering her to get the things in the Advertisements. So one day Mama decides to let them have everything they want off the TV commercial. They have to eat every bit of cereal and candy and play with all the toys for a month.

The cubs find out the cereal is gross, the candy is too sour, and the toys are lame.
