Review:

While some of the books are wholesome and appropriate with great messages, some books in the series do contain name-calling and incorrect messages. For example, in some of the books the father is portrayed as a bumbling fool. The books in the series are reading Levels 1-3, with most of them being on reading Level 2.

Books in this series we recommend: All Aboard! The Shaggy Little Pony, Bears in the Night, Clean House, Dinosaur Dig, Down on the Farm, Family Reunion, Four Seasons, New Kitten, Old-Fashioned Christmas, Safe and Sound!, Seashore Treasure, Spooky Old Tree, The Baby Chipmunk, The Berenstain Bears are a Family, The Berenstain Bears Go on Vacation, The Berenstain Bears Think of Those in Need, The Big Red Kite, The Lemonade Stand, The Missing Dinosaur Bone, The Sitter, We Love Our Dad, We Love Trucks, When I Grow Up, and any in the “Living Lights” series

Books in this series that did not make the booklist: Class Trip, Gone Fishin’, New Pup, Out West, The Berenstain Bears Are Superbears, The Wishing Star, We Love Soccer
