The Berenstain Bears' New Baby |
Stan and Jan Berenstain were both born in 1923 in Philadelphia. They didn't know each other as children, but met later at school, at the Philadelphia College of Art. They liked each other right away, and found out that the both enjoyed the same kinds of books, plays, music and art. During World War II, Stan was a medical assistant in the Army, and Jan worked in an airplane factory. When the war was over, they got married and began to work together as artists and writers, primarily drawing cartoons for popular magazines. After having their two sons Leo and Michael, the Berenstains decided to write some funny children's books that their children and other children could read and enjoy. Their first published children's book was called The Big Honey Hunt . It was about a family of bears, who later became known as the "Berenstain Bears".
Over 50 children's books later, Stan and Jan still plan all of their books together -- both write the stories, and both write the pictures. They live outside of Philadelphia in the country.

有点旧?多少有点失望
I grew up with the Berenstain Bears books and my daughter loves this book as well. The fact that the characters are bears doesn't confuse her and calling brother bear just small bear doesn't confuse her either. At the end of the book when sister bear is born I "change" the words of the book to call him brother bear so she gets the idea. This book seems more appropriate than the newer version with the birds and the bees. It doesn't go through a lot in regards to the changes that brother bear will endure after sister bear is born but it does go through a typical day in the life of small bear and how he doesn't notice how big mama bear has gotten. Papa bear takes small bear out to build a new bed and mama bear stays behind to deliver the new baby (which isn't mentioned, sister bear just appears in the last few pages). I like how it relates a lot of siblings in the sense of how the older child's "stuff" is passed down to the younger sibling. My daughter got a new bed and is now waiting the arrival of her baby brother so he can go in her old crib (just like in the story). It doesn't explain how to be gentle to the baby and how everything is going to change for small bear but I honestly like that because in most cases other than having a new baby in the house, the toddler isn't going to up and change his/her ways just because a baby is around. I still expect my daughter to run rampant in the house when her brother is sleeping and expect me to take her to the park in 100 degree weather with the baby (and we will)! Other books seem as though the older child's life has to get flipped upside down due to the birth of a baby while this book insinuates that brother will have a part in sister's life but his life will remain unchanged because his needs are still just as important as they were prior to his little sister being born.
Although this book is cute and the illustrations are great I wouldn't recommend it for the sole purpose of prepping a child for becoming an older sibling. The story revolves around little bear outgrowing his bed and needing to make a new one. Little bear is curious as to what will happen to his old bed, which he's told will go to the baby but the main part of the story is about building him a new bed. The story is far too complicated for a little one to understand and it's clearly targeted towards a young audience since a 5+ year old wouldn't have to worry about giving their bed to a baby since they are no longer sleeping in a crib. My four year old was semi entertained while I read this to her but the "becoming a big sister" connection was completely lost.
This is a really weird story. Papa and the son go out for the day and when they come back there's a baby? They never told the kid he was getting a new sister and then all of a sudden she just shows up one day? We got this because my son is getting a baby sister. Thought it would help prepare for the change, but mama never goes to the hospital or any of the things that will really happen, so it was actually unhelpful in not being realistic. Yes, I know, it's a story about bears but a bit more realism would be nice.
The only thing I don't particularly love about this books is that the parents don't tell little bear about the new baby. It's just mommys tummy is growing then pa bear takes our little bear to make a new bed for him because he has grown out of it and when he returns home mamma bear had the baby and then uses little bears old bed... with that said my daughter still likes it as we just had our little boy.
I love the Berenstein Bears. At one point as a kid, I owned every single book, including (I imagine) this one. I bought this book when I became pregnant with my second child in an attempt to help prepare my oldest to be a big sister. This story does not serve this purpose. I gave it 3 stars because it's a cute (albeit disturbing - Mama Bear gives birth to Sister Bear at home by herself in the few hours Papa and Brother are out in the woods?!) story, but hardly focuses on the "big brother" aspect. I think I read a review of this a while back that said, "This book would be more aptly named 'The Berenstein Bears New Bed,'" because that is a far more accurate title. It did not touch at all upon the realities of having a new baby in the house, or the roles of an older sibling. I will always love the Berenstein Bears (and my daughter enjoys having this story read to her), but if you're looking for a book that will help ease your little one's transition to big sister-or brother-hood, this is not it.
