This story is about brother and sister Berenstain and the lesson they learn on teasing. Brother always teases sister and although he thinks it is a lot of fun, sister does not like it all. One day at school the principal gives him a special task, and some other bully bears who are jealous start to tease him. Brother hates it and dreads going to school. He realizes that teasing is no good, and is relieved when a new kid comes to school and the bullies start to tease him. Brother eventually does the right thing and stands up for him and they become friends. Brother and sister realize that the new kid is amazing at wrestling, and in PE he wrestles all of the bullies and beats them. Brother learns a good lesson about teasing in the end. I show more thought that this is a good story, especially fro kids who like to tease others, however, it was a little too predictable and preachy for my own enjoyment.
Genre: Fantasy
Media:
Uses: great for discussing bulling and teasing, If there is a specific student who is doing that, this would be a good book for them to read.

However, when a new cub, Milton, arrives at school, the students stop teasing Brother Bear and go on to their new victim. Brother Bear ends up befriending the new cub and comes up with a plan to get the others to stop teasing Milton.
I think this book is a great display of how teasing might seem like fun, as long as you are not the one being teased. By reading this book students can learn that you don't have to agree on everything, or be exactly alike, but teasing still isn't necessary. Children can also discover that everyone has different talents by watching Milton struggle at many sports but being so successful when he show more is finally given the chance to wrestle. Brother Bear also greatly demonstrates that you need to give others a chance and you may find yourself with a new friend! show less
