Now reading them again, I think the draw to the book is simply the novelty of the brand rather than the quality of literature itself. It was a good and simple story, great for early readers, but there was nothing particularly special about it. However, I did enjoy the illustrations because they were cartoon-like and bright. They really draw the eye of the reader. The reading level of this book is grades K-2.
The Berenstain Bears: Sick Days by Jan Berenstain, Mike Berenstain
Little Critter has a musical hobby . . . and it's noisy He's excited about his new drums, and this means playing them everywhere. But Little Critter soon realizes that he might need just a few more lessons before he's ready for his own rock-and-roll band
The Little Lights Berenstain Bear series helps children learn how God wants them to live every day.
Most of the Berenstain Bears’ neighbors are like the Bear family—they keep their homes neat and clean. Except for the Bogg Brothers who live in a run-down shack. In The Berenstain Bears Love Their Neighbors children learn that being a good neighbor takes more than keeping a nice home.
Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005, and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from the family home and studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

When Sam-I-am persits in pestering a grumpy grouch to eat a plate of green eggs and ham, perseverance wins the day, teaching us all that we cannot know what we like until we have tried it!
With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide.
As the first step in a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss's best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks.
This timeless Dr. Seuss classic was first published in 1960, and has been delighting readers ever since. Sam-I-Am is as persistent as a telemarketer, changing as many variables as possible in the hopes of convincing the nameless sceptic that green eggs and ham are a delicacy to be savoured. He tries every manner of presentation with this nouvelle cuisine--in a house, with a mouse, in a box, with a fox, with a goat, on a boat--to no avail. Then finally, finally the doubter caves in under the tremendous pressure exerted by the tireless Sam-I-Am. And guess what? Well, you probably know what happens, but even after reading Green Eggs and Ham for the thousandth time, the climactic realization that green eggs and ham are "so good, so good, you see" is still a rush. As usual, kids will love Dr. Seuss's wacky rhymes and whimsical illustrations--and this time, they might even be so moved as to finally take a taste of their broccoli. (Ages 4 to 8)..
In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Green Eggs and Ham belongs to the Green Back Book range..

Anacrobatic act begins with one bear on a unicycle and gradually increases until there are 21 bears and 16 wheels flying through the air, in a beginning reader that offers a unique counting book, courtesy of the Berenstains
Bears on Wheels is a great book to help children to learn how to count. There is a simple story where on each page, you get a bike with a different number of wheels for them to count, and a different number of bears on the bikes.
Note: the numbers covered are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 and 21.
As with most Berenstain Bears books, the highlight for me is the cute bears in the artwork.
Overall, a good simple first-reads book for little ones that mostly acts as a simple learn-to-count book
Bears On Wheels, by Stan Berenstain, is about bears who ride wheels. It starts out with one bear on one wheel. But then it continues on to all sorts of different numbers of bears on all sorts of numbers of wheels. But it always goes back to one bear on one wheel many times throughout the story. Make sure to read the , and expect a fun, mouth-tiring book.
As it changes the amounts of bears and wheels many times, it always returns to one bear on one wheel which makes it a circle story. That is always a fun reading strategy that children love to read! Not many children will say they have seen bears on wheels, so this is an interesting book for children. I recommend it!
