The Berenstain Bears and the Homework Hassle (First Time Books)

Rating:
Summary: Homework Woes
Review: When I saw this title on the bookshelf, I thought,"Aha! This would be a good read with a moral and lesson plan for my 5-year old son. Little did I realise that there's a lesson to be learnt from it myself--As parents, we need to go back to the time when we were young and remember that we once were like that too.Occasionally, we too may have traded our grades for more interesting entertainment that the world around us offers.

Mama and Papa Bear had no intention of prying into Brother Bear's schoolbag until a waft of stale food led their noses to the scent. A teacher's note reveals that Brother Bear had too many things vying for his attention and schoolwork was the last thing on his mind.

I like the writer's sense of humour in creating in Bear Country a world similar to our own. For instance, the bears have The Bear Stooges, Game Bear, Bearsmoke, Bear Trek, Bear Revenue Service while we have The Three Stooges, GameBoy, Gunsmoke, Star Strek and Inland Revenue Service.

Both my son and myself enjoy reading this book together and chuckling at the wit and humour of this story. Once again, the Berenstain Bears has certainly made reading pleasurable and fun for my boy.
