The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV Paperback – Picture Book, April 12, 1984

My 14 year old granddaughter wanted me to get this for her. It's one of her favorite books that I used to read to her when she was little.It also has a great theme.

My daughter loves the Berenstein Bears! Bought this book to help her understand that we need to be mindful of our time and to not be glued to the screen. Very good book!

Our seven yr old has struggled tremendously w all things reading and writing. I cant even begin to quantify the hrs of sleep I've lost worrying, stressing, crying... trying to find something -ANYTHING!- to spark his interest and turn him onto reading.And then I remembered the Berenstain Bears. These funny little bear books are our miracle. I've LOVED to read my whole life. I have the fondest memories of my grandmother reading dozens of Berenstain Bears books to me as a little girl... and then of me re-reading them to her. Introducing our little lovey to the Berenstain Bears has been jst... wonderful.YES - They're too, too much for a six or seven yr old to read solo. They're def intended for co-reading / joint reading.For me - these are the perfect books for teaching grade school kiddos ab theme, plot, character developmt, etc... while slowly transitioning fr me reading to him and daddy [ha!] to him reading to us.Basically: Highly recommend. =)

Great kids' book.

It’s a really good book

As dated as so-called "TV sets" may seem, this story is timeless in that it applies now to tablets and smartphones.Papa seems to be from the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do school and I'd wished he was more supportive of Mama's lesson through his own actions, but it sets that I myself can be just like Papa when it comes to TV (and, yes, tablets and smartphones.) Still, the point comes through loud (too loud?) and clear: more people to people and less people to pixels, please.

The Berestain Bears are up to no good while encountering a rut of being caught up in the middle of too much television. This is a great book that teaches children there is more to life than just watching the old tube. Stan and Jan Berenstain do a marvelous job at telling the story of Mama Bear putting her foot down when her family becomes obsessed with television. There is so much more to life than television. The bear cubs take time to remember how fun it is to play out doors, read a book, or just talk with other family members. This is a must have book for any Berestain Bear lover. The book was purchased at a steal of a price, wound up in my mailbox just days after ordering, and is in wonderful condition.

I got this book for my toddler because there are so many kids watching and looking at too many screens for too long. Its sickening. I wanted him to understand why moderation is a good thing. He caught on pretty quick after a few months of reading this, he doesn't care when the tv is on or off. And it's really cute when he tries to say too much tv. He even brings the book out when he thinks I'm watching too much tv. Great message and it sticks with kids.
