The Berenstain Bears Holiday Audio Collection
PreSchool-Grade 2--This collection contains five popular Berenstain Bear stories about Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Valentine's Day&#xE2;&#x80;"The Berenstain Bears Save Christmas, The Berenstain Bears Meet Santa Bear, The Berenstain Bears' Thanksgiving, The Berenstain Bears and the Prize Pumpkin, The Berenstain Bears' Comic Valentine&#xE2;&#x80;"tenderly read by the authors, Stan and Jan Berenstain. The sweet, simple stories remind children of good manners and morals: to avoid greed and avarice, not to be prejudiced, to be friendly, to share with others, and not to be sore losers. Quaint rhyming text, though sometimes a bit strained, makes the audio versions of the stories very enjoyable. The authors take turns reading the texts in a straightforward manner, with few sound effects, which gives the readings the air of a family story time. Music at the beginning and end of each story adds to the old fashioned tone. These audio versions, like the books, will appeal to children and their parents.--Cynthia Grabke, Thayer Public Library, Braintree, MACopyright &copy; Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
