It's Grinch Night in Bear Country...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat (Paperback)
Brother & Sister go trick-or-treating with Fred & Lizzy. They plan to skip Miz Mcgriss' house, because they think she's Gruntilda from Banjo-Kazooie. Hey wait! N64 wasn't around by then! In other words, Too-Tall is gonna teepee the house.Why does Mcgriss always have a mad look on her face? She had it in this book, and she continued to have it in "Prize Pumpkin"!

Two boys' review: Good read before you trick or treat,
By Jared Castle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat (Paperback)
The book's message, "appearances can be quite deceiving," focuses on a spooky, old house with an elderly woman named Miz MGrizz. The little bears learn to not judge people unkindly by their appearance.This is a tricky message as so much of the parental advice prior to Halloween is for kids to be on their guard. The book does reinforce some great Halloween safety messages: 1. Stay in your own neighborhood. 2. Don't eat the treats until you get home and Mama Bear inspects them. I also recommend these other Berenstain Bears' books: The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores The Berenstain Bears Forget Their MannersThe Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful

Appearances Can Be Deceiving,
By Janet Boyer "Author of Tarot in Reverse" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat (Paperback)
Like the book The Berenstain Bears' New Neighbors, The Berenstain Bears Trick or Treat is a book tackling the subject of prejudice and not judging people by appearances.However, like the other book, Papa's animosity and presumption is just too over the top--and, in my opinion, reinforces prejudice rather than challenges it. For example, on the next to the last page, the kids are happily eating their take from Trick or Treating. Papa asks them where the beautiful candy apples came from. Brother and Sister inform him that they came from old Miz McGrizz. "From that scary-looking old grouch puss that lives down Crooked Lane?", he asks. While the kids were surprised at Mizz McGrizz's kindness and friendliness and learned a lesson about rumors and assumption, the book ends on a rather sour note with Papa Bear's judgmentalism. In my opinion, it reinforces stereotype about the elderly and small-town rumors about "scary old people" who live in a "haunted house". I feel that The Berenstain Bears and the Prize Pumpkin is a far better book to celebrate the Fall season (although that one is more about thankfulness/Thanksgiving). This book has great illustrations because of the night scenes, to be sure, but I don't like how the ending focuses mostly on Papa Bear's insult against Mizz McGrizz (although it's great that the kids, at least, realized the error of their assumption based on neighborhood legend...) |
