Summary: Excellent Way to Open The Discussion...
Review: ...about the danger of strangers. I have read this book to all three of my children, and they have definitely learned the value of caution. A nice feature is that the book shows, in a non-scary, friendly way, how scary the subject of strangers can be to children, but how talking it over can help allay those fears. The book also shows how a child's excitement over a stranger showing a common interest or offering goodies to the child can override the child's basic caution. I highly recommend this book for the collection of anyone who wishes to keep their child(ren) safe.

Summary: Addresses an Important and difficult topic.
Review: I have 2 children - a girl (2) who loves everyone and a boy (4) who is scared of everyone. How do I teach her to be cautious without having to loose her charm? How do I teach him to be friendly without being cautious, too? This book addresses it all. Sister Bear has one personality, Brother has the other. In the end, brother is tempted by a stranger and Sister steps in. It addresses stranger danger better than any other source I have seen. I really feel this is a must-have book for every parent and child.

Summary: Never too early to be aware.
Review: I have always found the Berenstain Bears a bit too "backwards" in their approach to life (very traditional male and female roles), but the point gets across. It did not seem to "spook" my three year old daughter at all, and she was captivated for a month or two by it. She rarely reads it now, but I feel the point has been made and I reinforce it every now and then when I can.

Summary: One of the least paranoia inducing "stranger books"
Review: I have gotten rid of most "don't talk to strangers" books because they are mostly fear inducing. I want my children to use common sense, and this version emphasises that. Sister (gotta love the names :-) ) fears everyone when first told that not all strangers are trustworthy. Mama comes to the rescue with some much needed common sense and moderation. The book concludes with a plausible example of Brother maybe trusting a stranger too much.A good starting point for working with young, very trusting children, on appropriate interpersonal interactions, and may help prevent the child from fearing even the grocery store clerk.

Summary: Strangers
Review: I love all of the books in this series because I think it teachs good lessons to children. This one explains how it is not good to talk to strangers. Although I do not agree with that lesson, some times kids have to talk to strangers, for example if they were to get lost. But it is still a good book.

Summary: The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers
Review: In this book sister bear is very friendly. She likes to talk to everyone and everything. Brother bear tells her to stop talking to strangers and being so friendly to them.
But she questions him by saying "Why"? Brother bear tells her to go ask Papa bear that question. So then Papa bear showed the newspaper to her, that showed pictures of The Stranger Brothers Cub, Missing Cub found, Cub safety meeting, and Chief Grizzily Questions Strangers. All night while sister bear was trying to sleep those pictures and headings we running through her head. The next morning after all of that she did not want to go anywhere now. But then Mama Bear talked to her about strangers.
The lesson that this book teaches is not to talk to strangers or any other people you don't know. I think the age level for this book should be ages five and up. I really liked this book it can teach kids about strangers.

Summary: What about the rest of the strangers?
Review: The book does teach children about what to do with strangers, but the view of strangers is not appropriate. They are all darkened men. A more developmentally-appropriate, anti-bias book would include strangers of all races, class, personality, and gender.

Summary: What about the rest of the strangers?
Review: This is a good book. My 5 year old son enjoyed the story, and the lessons that I wanted to convey about strangers (what is a stranger, stranger rules, etc.) were covered very well. The story shows how one can become too afraid as well as how one can be lured into leaving with a stranger. Children learn to be careful without being paranoid. Children also learn that "telling" is not the same as being a "tattletell". We have enjoyed all 8 books that we purchased from this collection.
