This week's book is a lot about nostalgia for me. When I was young, I loved the Berenstain Bear books by Stan and Jan Berenstain. Something about a fully functioning house in a tree just seemed magical to me. I think one of my favorites growing up was Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday. Maybe it was because I dreamed of having so many treats and treasures at my birthday party but realized it was probably good they weren't this way.

It tells how Sister Bear was worried about starting school but once she went she loved it and her fears were resolved. After I read this book Lucas was saying, "I want to go to school." "Will I get to ride a bus?" And would show his little sister his school whenever we went past it. So this book did just what I believe the authors intended and helped calm a lot of fears of a great little kid.
I love the berenstains books, I have two favorites the one with the new bed and the scout one. They really do help kids make transitions. Thanks for stopping by my blog I will be back to check your. Lydia
ReplyDeleteO, i remember that book! It's been so long since I have read it. It was one of my favs growing up.
ReplyDeleteWe love the Berenstain Bears books. I grew up reading them and the Aurthur books and now my kids watch their shows.
ReplyDeleteI took my oldest to kidergarten last year and no matter what people told me, it was rough. I walked him to class till he begged me to stop half-way through the year. It was for sure harder on me then it was on him.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. We enjoy Berenstain Bears also. Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers really helped us out. I'm glad your son is starting to get excited for school. You should talk to the school and see if they'll let him come to a tour while classes are still in session.
ReplyDeletethank you for your nice comment. :)
ReplyDeleteYour kids are adorable! (oh and I was raised on Berenstain Bear books. Love em!)
