Conair FBT1 Conair Max Trim All-in-one Cord/Cordless Rechargeable Face and Body Trimmer

I read this series as a kid, and am more than thrilled to have found it for my own children. It is now a must read for bedtime. My sons favorite is the berenstain bears and the messy room-its especially applicable for him!While I am thrilled that the stories always have some form lesson attached, I now see a little of the "male bashing" others have referred to. I never picked up on it as a kid, but as an adult, the somewhat simplistic and ignorant goofiness of papa bear strikes a chord with me. It doesn't detract too much from how I perceive the series as a whole, but it does sour the memories a bit!However, having grown up with this, I just want to stress that I had no conception of the weakness of papa bear. Though I will allow that other children may catch on. So far, my sons haven't, and that's just fine. After all, mistakes are a part of being human, and we can't pretend that either of the parents from this story (though they are bears and not people), are meant to be unrealistically perfect.

Growing up I never actually read any of the Berenstain Bear books. I always liked to look at the covers, but I was more or less into Clifford. Fast forward 26 years and I'm trying to give my 3 year old daughter a good variety of books to encourage a love of reading. She likes this Berenstain Bears book, I can't say it's one of my favorites to read however. The language used in the book is awkward at times, perhaps intentionally. I was kind of surprised in the first story when Sister Bear is born, she punches her Brother Bear in the face. I find no problem with my daughter reading this, because I see it for what it is, but I know at least one couple who would object to this sort of thing from being in books their child reads. The morals in the Berenstain Bear books are great, the pictures are great, and the stories themselves are entertaining for children. As long as my daughter keeps asking for the book I'll gladly read it, but she definitely prefers the less wordy Little Critter books at her age.

Our 2.5 year old can sit through 2-3 of these stories at a time and doesn't get bored. The Berenstein Bears books teach great values. He is much more excited to have baby sitters because of the story of the sitter. It's great for us! I like the combined books because they save room on our bookshelf, teach my kids to find the story they like amongst others, and can kill 30 minutes reading all the stories when my child is in the mood. I think that's something some parents are scared of if their young kids are ready for bigger/longer books and mine has been since he was 22 months or so.

My daughter really loves this collection of books. She loves all the stories. I like most of the stories, except the "new baby" one, which was okay but didn't really have any examples that helped our daughter deal with a new baby. We cannot read the "afraid of the dark" story at bedtime because it seems to make her think more about being a afraid of the dark. We read it during the day use it as a springboard for discussion about the dark. Also, in this collection of stories, Papa is not protrayed as an oaf (though he does deny being sick in the "go to the doctor" story.) Overall, this is an excellent purchase, particularly for the price.

My daughter loves these books when she was little and it’s a testament to their longevity that my granddaughter loves them as well!

This book has all of the stories as advertised and it was in great shape (got it used). My kids enjoy the stories and it’s nice to reread books from my childhood

These books are amazing, I had the same ones as a kid so when my son asked I jumped on this one. The value is great and my son loves reading this every night.
