I enjoyed this book for a few reasons; first the book used short sentences and simple concepts making it easy for beginning readers to read. Next the plot was suspenseful enough to keep me engaged and solved a problem with a good outcome. Since the Berenstain Bears’ is a series, many children will already know whom they are and what their personalities are, but if they do not it is easy to pick up in each book. The big message of the story here is even though Papa Bear kept getting himself into sticky situations and messing things up, nobody became upset or mad at him because they were all accidents he didn’t mean to happen.
