My 4 year old loves this book. It does a good job teaching kids about strangers without scaring them. It's a little old fashioned in the sense that brother bear has interests like model airplanes, soccer, etc... and sister bear "has many other interests" but this doesn't really take away from the lessons being learned. We have another Berenstain book, "The Bearscouts", that is decades old and the whole book rhymes. I have been looking for some other rhyming Berrenstain books without success and would love to find some. Can Amazon help me out with this???
