The Berenstain Bears and The Spooky Old Tree


So after I had picked up an Arthur book, I began to think more about the books I was picking out rather than randomly picking books. I started to think back to the books I remember reading and enjoying and for some reason they were all mostly apart of a series. The Berenstain Bears is another one of those infamous series that everyone has heard of and everyone loves. I remember even having The Berenstain Bears movies. So of course I had to find a book.
This one in particular is one of those types of books that you really need both the pictures and the text to get the story. The text has very limited vocabulary. But has a cute rhyme and rhythm to it. The story is about the three little bears journey through a spooky old tree. The pictures add so much to the story that the words don't even hint too. The illustrations are a little dark but I think that goes well with the spooky theme. The words are easy to find in the illustrations and they even follow the path of the bears on a couple of pages. I think this is a great book to read to a child that doesn't read yet so they are more inclined to look at the pictures instead of the words so that they understand the underlying story.
