The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor

This series was pretty nice about addressing various childhood experiences, and this installment, about going to the doctor, was a pretty good one. Turns out some adults can be a bigger baby than some kids! (and I knew a few adults IRL just like that!)

Sister Bear and Brother Bear have to go to the doctor for a checkup, and they are both very scared! They are afraid the examination will hurt and are uneasy all the way to doctor’s office. The doctor gives them both a well checkup and then gives them a shot. The bears are terrified that the shot will be painful but soon realize it is not that bad.
I think this is such a cute book for children to read. Most kids do not like going to the doctor, and this book shows them that the doctor is only there to help. I think this would ease the nerves of students going to the doctor, and it is definitely something I will consider having in my classroom library!

I grew up reading the Berenstain bears, I really enjoy that they are family oriented. They talk about events that happen in a child's life. I also enjoy these books because they are cute. I also think that if you have a child who is scared to go to the doctors to read this book to calm their nerves

Just like going to school or to the dentist, going to the doctor can be nerve-wracking and scary your first time. In the book, the brother and sister ask real questions about their trip and their check-up at the doctor’s office. These are real questions that could be asked by kids today. This book could help children get over their fear of going to the doctor and help them be a little more at ease.

I like this book because it is written in a way that children can relate to it. In the book, brother and sister ask questions about going to the doctor that real kids would ask their parents. The big idea of this book is to encourage children to not be afraid of going to the doctor.

Berenstain Bear books are always lengthy. These are great for children with a long attention span; but even better for the child who has learned to read on his or her own. I remember spending many mornings reading these books for myself. I also know, from many pained experiences, that children don't have the attention span to stay interested in the many many words on each page. This would be best for a bed time story while rocking in a chair. Your child will be asleep long before the book.
As for this book, it's fairly good. It may help a child who is uncertain about doctors and getting shots; and they might get the humor in the ending.

The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor is a trade book about giving the Berenstain cubs their regular checkup and overcoming their fear about the doctors office. The illustrations in The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor is very neatly done. The colors are fill from top to bottom and can be seen clearly. Teachers can use this book in the classroom to teach or talk about going to the doctor's office. They could talk about their experiences and say it's not such a bad thing. I like this book because it actually helps me get over my fear of going to the doctors. I dread going to the doctors to get shots, but in the end they are not that bad.
