EDITORIAL REVIEW

When Papa Bear tells the cubs why they should never talk to strangers, Sister begins to view all strangers as evil until Mama brings some common sense to the problem. "The Bears' rules for safe conduct among strangers are listed on the last pages, including a rule about the privacy of a bear's body. A good book to start awareness in young children."--School Library Journal.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Good, but maybe not for very small children
~ Written on May 2, 2008. out of users found this review helpful.

I guess this is a good place to start, but it's a little too nuanced for small kids. I would recommend this book for five and up, but then again, I'm no expert

Stranger Danger.....
~ Written on Nov 7, 2007. out of users found this review helpful.

Effective book for young children. My daughter is just like the sister bear character, so I think she's been able to relate to her character and not be too scared of people she doesn't know. I would definately recommend this book for parents of 4-5 year olds. For a younger child, "Your Body Belongs to You" by Cornelia Spelman, it's easier for them to understand I think. Berenstain Bears is a great series that I will follow.

This book is great at addressing Stranger-danger

I wasn't sure what to tell my 3 and 5 year olds about strangers or how to go about it. This book is perfect. It addresses strangers, but doesn't put total fear in the kids about it. It's a perfect introduction to being aware of strangers around them. Highly recommended.

Not for Preschoolers
~ Written on Oct 6, 2007. 1 out of 4 users found this review helpful.

I found myself having to reword many sentences in the book for my 4-year old granddaughter. She's at the age where we are trying very hard to educate her about strangers but this book is written for more mature children for some reason. I mean, c'mon, it's the Berenstain Bears but it's written in a vocabulary style that my granddaughter certainly would not have understood if I had read it word for word. Guess I'll just have to just keep making up my own stories!

Great for the Preschool Crowd

Lots of stranger-danger books are geared towards the school-age crew, 6+...this one is age-approprate for preschoolers. Our girls (2.5 & 4) both enjoy this book. We like that it opens the door for communication. It is general about strangers - so nothing specific about appropriate touch and that "stranger-danger" issues can apply to people whom they do know - but that will come in time (when they are older and with another book).
