cute kids book

[Leila · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love that Brother Bear tries out for everything. He is not afraid to try new things and even when he doesn't make the team, because he wants to be a part of something bigger than himself, he accepts all of the grunt work his coach gives him. It takes many tries for him to find something he loves as well as something he is good at. Great lesson.

The Berenstain Bears are always good for a likeable story.

I didn’t like this book as well as other Berenstain books although I cannot explain why. I didn’t find the ending of the book to be a conclusion.

Absolute portrayal of real life! I mean Brother's size and abilities can be positive or negative. In the end, what he succeeds at best is what really matters.

Brother Bear isn't ready to play football, baseball, or basketball. He is ready to be the school's star soccer player.
