A 'golden' book,
By Gin "girl o' the north" (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Berenstain And Golden Rule (Paperback)
I appreciated this book a lot and the message it was trying to convey, but may be too deep for youngest children. The depth of the importance of this message and Sisters' own coming-to-recognize her not following the golden rule in her OWN self "should have" been focused on a bit more. I sometimes find Berenstain books to teach lessons by "insinuation"... but they are still good books nonetheless.

Be wary of religious indoctrination!,
By
This review is from: Berenstain And Golden Rule (Paperback)
Having very much enjoyed reading the Berenstain Bears books to my kids, I was looking for some new ones, and found this and several others I hadn't read before. I guess what happened is partially my fault; I didn't read carefully enough. What I got, instead of the usual warm and (for the reading level) nuanced story, was some bland religious instruction. The story was one of the poorest, least interesting, most preachy Berenstain stories I've seen, mostly because it was a shallow excuse for quoting and paraphrasing come cherry-picked bible pap. Be warned: the "living lights" series makes use of these lovable bears as shills for bland religious indoctrination. Bleah. Interesting that, while you can read a few sample pages of most of the Berenstain books, the same courtesy is not extended for the "living lights" series; this smacks of dishonesty. I guess it's back to Franklin and Arthur for my family.

Golden Rule,
By Scott Holmes - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Berenstain And Golden Rule (Paperback)
The kids and I enjoy these classic stories. They combine timeless principles and morals with fun kids' stories, which is always great. The only thing that I am slightly disappointed about in these stories is that they paint Dad as "dummy" and almost on a peer level with the children at times. The stories would be even better without that.

Very Valuable!,
By Margaret Chind "Creative Madness Mama - Quilt... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Berenstain And Golden Rule (Paperback)
It's been years since I have read any of the adventures with the Berenstain Bears, but it was definitely a strong part of my earliest childhood that I have spare memories of. The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule is a winner in my opinion and a shelf keeper for every family.Sister Bear gets to learn more about that phrase she knows so well, but has never really considered. This classic is a wonderful learning tool for any child and I strongly recommend it. On the inside of the back cover is a reader's guide, which I do not remember as a child, but has great questions to further the learning and understanding of a reader. What a wonderful experience spending time with the Berenstain Bears is, I cannot wait for more! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Great lesson,

This review is from: Berenstain And Golden Rule (Paperback)
I purchased this along with some other Berenstain Bear books. My two boys (4 and 6) ask me to read this book over and over. Especailly my 4 year old. I does a good job of explaining the Golden Rule in terms kids can understand. I just wish there was more than one example, but still, a great book.
