Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: It worked! Comment: When my 4-year old daughter started lying constantly we tried everything - lectures, books from the library about lying, loss of privileges, etc. When I found this book and read it to her, it was like a light bulb went off in her head. She finally understood and the lying stopped almost overnight. I'd recommend this book to any parent having trouble with a young child telling lies. Customer Rating: Summary: Two boys' review: A lie detector for young kids Comment: I slip this book into the bedtime rotation a couple times per month. Of all the Berenstain Bears books, this one elicits the most uncomfortable looks from my two, young boys. The book touches on the value of the truth as well as the problems that result from being a tattler. I've found the book to be a great tool for instilling values in our children. The book acts as a springboard to discuss their behavior and any outstanding issues they want to talk about. The best of the Berenstain Bears books can help a parent reemphasize good values and good manners. I recommend this book for your kids' collection. Here's some other Berenstain Bears books I recommend: The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble with Chores The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners The Berenstain Bears and Too Much TV The Berenstain Bears Learn About Strangers Customer Rating: Summary: Lessons our two year-old enjoys Comment: I remember the Berenstain bears fondly from my childhood. The books are entertaining with nice illustrations, bright colors and the always interesting...talking bears. They introduce life lessons without being overly preachy about. Our two year-old remembers the lessons and we use them regularly to remind him when he slips up. He is just figuring out how to lie ("mommy didn't give me vitamin yet"). He understands when we compare what he says to the book he knows so well. We've got a bunch of these books and we plan to get all of them! Customer Rating: Summary: Terrific Teaching Comment: This and all the Berenstain Bears books are excellent teaching tools for preschoolers. My four year old granddaughter asks for them to be read over and over. Customer Rating: Summary: what a whopper Comment: This was a great book. Sometimes you can tell your children something many times, and a book or children's show can suddenly make it click for them. Lots of good lessons here-- always tell the truth, lying breaks the trust between people, and lying makes things complicated and leads to more lies, i.e. When Brother & Sister are asked what happened for the second time, they can't exactly remember how the story went the first time they told it! Stan Berenstain had a wonderful talent for making a life lesson entertaining. More Reviews
