The Berenstain Bears and the Sitter

I loved The Berenstain Bears as a child, and I'm thrilled that my children love them too. We've had Berenstain Bear books and movie/videos in our collection for years.... each of my 5 children have loved them, and has gone through a Berenstain Bears phase at some point..... my youngest, 7, is currently in this phase. These books are part of our bedtime reading every night.

This one is really cute.....it's the good old scary old lady sitter trope.....per usual, the cubs learn she isn't so bad afterall.....it's a tried and true theme, but not one we tire of. With a unique personality, Mrs. Grizzle is a character we hop to encounter again.

This was a pretty cute (if somewhat dated for this time and age, almost 40 years years as of this time) book about accepting a babysitter. I can not help but wonder how this book would have been written and presented in this day and age, 2019. Times really have changed, eh?

As always, the Berenstain Bears series did not disappoint. In this book, the cubs were getting a sitter while their parents went to a meeting and weren't too thrilled to find out who it was. Mrs. Grizzly scared them because they remembered they had both made her upset before and they did not think she would be a good sitter. This book is a great way for children to understand that not every situation is as bad as it may seem. Although the cubs were nervous and scared at the beginning of the night, it ended up being a great night and the best time they had with a sitter. The illustrations were great and helped the story along including facial expressions from all the characters and great detail that could help young readers understand show more the story even if they struggle to read it. show less

Left with a babysitter for the first time, Brother and Sister Bear are certain they won't like her. But with her bag of tricks and comforting way of tucking them in, Mrs. Grizzle wins them over.

mama and papa bear have to go to a meeting so they call the sitter to come over. originally the cubs think that the sitter is mean but they end up having so much fun while she is over.
