Mama, Papa, Brother, and Sister Bear were a favorite childhood read for both Connor's daddy and myself. We actually inherited some of his dad's Berenstain Bears books and though Connor still has trouble sitting still through a whole book he's loving the dvd series based on the books. Actually as a kid I had many of the books but most of the memories I have are of the tv series which has been reborn through these dvd releases!
If your worried about the messages that tv is sending to your kids or the content of programming the Berenstain Bears has always been reliable at not only entertaining your little ones but also delivering a message you want your kids ot hear. The newest Berenstain Bears : Springtime Surprises dvd is out just in time for Easter and its message is all about telling the truth. This dvd includes four episodes the first of which is easter themed. Boss Bunny has pretty much become the Easter scrouge and decides to "quit" doing Easter. This leaves Papa Bear in charge of Easter and he attempts to make an "easter egg machine" which is a total disaster. Bear family is left to attempt to get Boss Bunny back in the Easter spirit! This was originally its own prime time Easter special which seems to be fairly unusual as Easter is not one of those holidays you expect a ton of cartoon specials.
The episodes included on the dvd are : Easter Surprise, Play Ball, Save The Bees, and of course And The Truth (all about the importance of honesty!).
The Berenstain Bears : Springtime Surprises is available right now on DVD and would make for a great basket stuffer! You can pick up your copy on Amazon!
I have three copies of The Berenstain Bears : Springtime Surprises to give away to my readers!

I used to read the books when I was younger but I honestly don't remember much about them. I think there was one where they were talking about naptime or something.

I love the BB and I bought a collection when my daughter was born. I read them to her and reminisce about when I read them as a kid!

I didn't even know the Berenstain Bears were available when I was growing up in the 70's. If they were, I don't recall seeing them in the stores. But my three kids have one of their DVDs and they really enjoy it, so I know that they would love this one as well.

Berenstain Bears weren't around back in my days (as my children remind me the Caveman Days LOL) but my boys loved them as they were growing up and now my grandchildren love them as well. We like that there is always a lesson to be learned and children of all ages can enjoy reading them or watching them.
Thanks!

great classic cartoon
I had several of their books growing up! great family fun stories!
I'm pretty sure I was too old for the Berenstain Bears when I was growing up; my kids were big fans, however. Thank you!
Growing up, I loved the Berenstein Bears. We had many of the books and my sister and I used to read them all the time. My mom still has those dog-eared hard-cover books and reads them to her grand-children today. Thank you for the fun give-away.
I had never heard of these books until I saw my grandchildren enjoying them. I would love to win this one for them. Thank you!

The Berenstain Bears were cool. Please accept my entry. Thank you.
I had no idea who they were until I had my own children.
My grandson loves the Berenstain Bears,he always wants me to read their books when he stays overnight.

I've always been fascinated by the bear culture.
Oh yes! I was a big Bearenstain Bears fan growing up. I read all the books. My favorite one is probally the one where they get the Gimmes. My two year old and I watch the show all the time. We started watching it when he was only a few months old. I liked watching it probally more than he did at that age. Now he LOVES it.

I was a kid way before Barenstein bears but have always loved bears. My kids love them too.
We read Berenstain Bear books every night to the little one. She likes the facial expressions on the characters and I like the wide range of plots, like too much tv, and the bad dream.

I was a fan of the Berenstein Bears growing up, I thought it was funny how brother and sister always fought LOL! It's a great series in that they always learn a lesson.

I love them as a kid! But I do remember being confused as the why the kids names were brother and sister. :) thanks, justicecw@hotmail.com
I loved reading the Berestein Bears growing up. This DVD looks great!
I liked their books when I was a kid. I liked when Papa would get "growly".
I loved them growing up and my youngest daughter can't get enough of them now. lol I like the lessons they teach in each episode. Thank you!!
My son would love it.
We do always love them. I like that most of their books teach some sort of lesson but subtly in a manner than children can understand.

I never was a fan of the Bernstein Bears growing up, but my kids have almost every one of their books and they just love them. I like that they come in different reading levels that appropriate for different ages, and they always have a good message and try to teach kids how to be good people. Thanks for the giveaway. My boys would love the DVD.

I've always loved the Berenstain Bears! They're fun and just like us, except they live in a tree!
I have loved Berenstein Bears since I was a kid. My favorite one was about when they went to camp. I can still remember several of the pictures that were in that book. Funny how much your mind retains about different things.
My grandchildren enjoy them. I don't think they were around WAY back then when I was little. Thanks for having the wonderful giveaway.

Yes I was a fan. I still have my copies of The Bike Lesson and Bears in the Night that I read to my own kids now.
I read the Berestein Bears books as a kid and I now read the books and watch the show with my kids. I like that they teach a lesson with each book or show but do it in a nice way that doesn't seem too heavy-handed.

I didn't grow up in this country so did not hear about them. but now with my girls, I am a huge fan of Bears.thanks
I always loved them growing up, and now they're my son's favorite!
I loved them growing up and kept many of my books I had as a child, that now my children read them as well. I guess I enjoyed them as a kid becuse their family structure was much like mine growing up and i could relate to that.

I loved them as a kid. There was one where the brother built a fort where no girls (meaning sister) were allowed. I thought that was the coolest fort & wanted one myself. lol Now DVDs...my boys will love them, too. theprophecygirl at hotmail dot com

I was a fan. I really liked the illustrations.

Wasn't a fan until I started having children of my own. My favorites were Grimm's Fairy Tales and classics like Riki Tiki Tavi and Old Yeller, Black Beauty and the original Beauty and the Beast.
