A new twist on some old stories.

Mrs. Grizzle babysits the Bear children - Brother, Sister and Honey.  Honey is the baby and always asleep by bedtime, but Brother and Sister are anxious to here a good story.  Mrs. Grizzle is the best storyteller!  The cubs know the classics - The 3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks and The Little Red Hen, among others.  Mrs. Grizzle puts a twist on each classic she tells, and the cubs can't wait to hear what it is.  The "re-titles" include; The Three Little Cubs and the Big Bad Pig, Goldibear and the Three People; The Gingerbread Bear; The Three Billy Goats Gruff Meet the Bogg Brothers; The Little Red Hen; Little Red Grizzly Hood.  There is a weeks' worth of entertainment and treasure at bedtime.

I like this book.  My girls enjoy the Berenstain Bears' books and have enjoyed hearing the twists Mrs. Grizzle presents.  I gave this book to my three year old - she will grow into it - because the older two got book at their birthday party.  She has poured over every page, looking at the illustrations and telling the stories to her dolls and stuffies.  This book is definitely a hit in this home.

Disclosure: This book was graciously sent to me by HarperCollins Publishing.

I really have to be honest here. I have loved the Berenstain bears since my oldest (now 15) was itty bitty.  We had them all! Every single, solitary one!

When Mama and Papa Bear go out for the night, Brother, Sister, and Honey have Mrs. Grizzle—the best babysitter and storyteller ever!

In The Berenstain Bears' Big Bedtime Book, the cubs and Mrs. Grizzle read six of their favorite stories: "The Three Little Cubs and the Big Bad Pig," "Goldibear and the Three People," "The Gingerbread Bear," "The Three Billy Goats Gruff Meet the Bogg Brothers," "The Little Red Hen," and "Little Red Grizzly Hood."

This book is wonderful!  The kids will be begging for bedtime.  The pictures are detailed and colorful.  The main characters play roles in each of these classic folktales with the well-known Berenstain Bears twist.

This book will provide you with over a week of wonderful storytime drama with my favorite bears in the world.  I consider this book an absolute must have for every childrens' library.
