Summary: Good for boys and girls
Review: I still have my copy from when I was a kid. It brings back memories of having my father along as a chaparone for Girl Scout trips. The moral of the story is that well meaning parents don't always know the right way to do things and should they should learn to listen better to their children.

Summary: Don't listen to your Dad, read a book
Review: Like other Berenstein books, Dad's a doofus, while the kids are wise in this camping-out adventure.
This is a fun story with nice artwork that I've ready many times to my kids (now 3 1/2 and 2). Frankly, I've gotten kind of tired of it -- the dad-bashing routine gets repetitive after a few dozen readings.
But the kids like it, and I think it will be a good one when they start reading on their own, too. There's even some good camping tips ("Put up your tents before it's late").

Summary: I Went Searching for this Childhood Favorite
Review: This tale of Papa Bear's prideful camping advice that ALWAYS turns out wrong is a classic. I LOVED this book when I was young, and indeed I still do! I never mind reading it to my 3 year old daughter. We quote the line "Your stew is stewing well, but doesn't it have a funny smell?" to each other as an inside joke. The Bear Scouts leave on a camping adventure, but at the last minute Papa Bear insists on going to "help out". His son and the other scouts always use their Bear Scout Guide, and always have success. But Dad ties his own knot which fails, makes stew of roots that tastes awful but then gladly devours the fish the scouts catch, and so forth. The rhyme is fun and memorable, the illustrations are captivating, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Summary: A Crowd Pleaser for Berenstain Bear Fans
Review: Your child will love Papa Bear's misadventures as he attempts to teach the Bear Scouts the "correct" way to conquer the out-of-doors. Luckily, the Bear Scouts also have their bear scout manual along. The illustrations (especially of Papa Bear "experiencing" the outdoors) and rhyming words will pull in your preschool or early school age child, and they will request this book again and again. This is a Berenstain Bear classic!
