The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV (First Time Books(R))

Great Deal The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV (First Time Books(R))

My kids have enjoyed every one of the Berenstain books and I like them too because they all teach a lesson in a non-preachy way. Unfortunately. the other lesson they all teach is that Papa is at best just another child, and at worst a buffoon. Sort of like the foolish fathers on the sitcoms.

Great lesson! - P. Burchett - Fort Worth, Texas
My six year old son loves this book!! He's not ready to try the whole week without a TV thing. But it's something about this book he really likes?

Two boys' review: Good message, but book needs updating - Jared Castle - Roseburg, Oregon United States
I've reviewed several of the Berenstain Bears books available at Amazon. This one is my least favorite because it is stuck in the mid-1980s. Mother Bear supposes the increased TV viewing is a result of the family switching from a black-and-white TV to a color set or, perhaps, because Papa Bear installed a new antenna atop the tree house.

Seriously, in a world of satellite TV, digital video recorders and on-demand movies, do you think upgrading to color television is the issue?

The rest of the book, which focuses on outdoor activities and the value of a family dinner time, is still valuable, but could use an update as well.

Skip this book and pick up "The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Commercials" instead.

The Help

Great Deal The Help

I bought this not knowing if I would enjoy it, but once I started reading I couldn't put it down! When I reached the end I was a little disappointed--it ends kind-of abruptly. I would have liked to have seen an epilogue or something to let you know what happens to the characters after the story ends. We get a little bit of information, but I wanted more! SPOILER ALERT! What happens with Skeeter's mother? Was Abileen a success at the paper? How did Skeeter like NY? What is Minny's life like after leaving Leroy and did she continue working for Celia? How far did Hilly really sink in her own pitiful life? Did Mae Mobley grow up to be a kind, loving girl or does she follow in Elizabeth's footsteps?
Maybe another book about these characters Ms. Stockett...?

Couldn't put it down. - Kitty Pal - San Diego, CA
This is a must read. For a not too often reader, I couldn't put this book down.
Very well written. Hope she writes some more books since this is her first one.

Great Book! - Cheree Carlson - Princeton, MN USA
I enjoyed reading this book and fell in love with the characters! The story was great and such an eye opener for me of a time that isn't too far off in our country's history. Thank you, Kathryn Stockett, for such a great book!

The Help Overviews

Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.

Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.

Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.

Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.

Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.
