The quest for picnic perfection will delight readers in this classic Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss. When the Berenstain Bears set out to find the perfect spot for a picnic, Father Bear says he knows just the place. But each ideal location turns out to be a complete disaster, with a train roaring past or hordes of mosquitoes. At last they find a place with no pesky crowds or noisy planes, and nary a mosquito . . . until it starts to rain. With The Bears’ Picnic, literary legends Stan and Jan Berenstain provide a red-and-white-checked tablecloth to enhance a giggle-filled escape. Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat , this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.

From the creators of the Berenstain Bears children's books comes a fresh and funny, trenchant and truthful look at what it means to be a parent. What Your Parents Never Told You About Being a Mom or Dad leaves you with more than a chuckle as the Berenstains provide advice and laughs on how to navigate the treacherous terrain of parenthood. Reel Wisdom -- Persuading a child to do it "your way" is like landing a ten-pound bass on a one-pound line -- it has to be done very carefully. A firm steady pull rather than a series of tugs is more likely to meet with success. No Contest -- Recognize that in any contest with your child you are seriously overmatched. Your child is naturally possessed of the guile of Wile E. Coyote, combined with the sheer energy of the Road Runner, while you, poor soul, the now-animated equivalent of Elmer Fudd. On the Natural Superiority of Children to Dogs and Cats -- A dog gives you perfect love, a cat total rejection. A child offers the advantage of giving you perfect love and total rejection -- often simultaneously. The Berenstains have helped countless children to be a little more courageous about scary things, a little smarter about tempting things, and a little more thankful about happy things in their young lives. Now, from their grandfatherly and grandmotherly perspective, and with their usual warmth, wisdom, and wit, the Berenstains help parents feel the same way about the scary, tempting, and happy things in their grown-up lives.

In non-threatening and hilarious illustrations, this book underscores the way most parents totally freak out over the subject of sex when it comes to explaining it to their children. One end of the spectrum has the parents who avoid the subject altogether, while the other end of the spectrum is pulling out charts, diagrams and videos. The goal of this book is to relax the parent and encourage them to take a straight-forward, but not overwhelming approach to teaching their kids... there are no materials for learning or illustrations to share with your kids... this is a humorous book for grownups, and not a manual on teaching the subject. A cute book to have on your coffee table or in a guest room. It's sweet illustrations will make anyone laugh and only Queen Victoria would have problems with the content. It's straight forward and honest.

The bestselling authors of the well-loved Berenstain Bears series present a witty, trusted, illustrated resource to help parents better communicate with their children about life's biggest questions.
