If your child likes the Berenstain Bears and art, this book combines both in a way guaranteed to get them drawing. There's some nice principles here about drawing as Brother and Sister learn about art.

Okay, so I have feelings about this one. The illustrations are classic Berenstain Bears adorable — I love the cozy, familiar style, and the bears are as cute as ever. 🐻✨ The “draw along” idea is fun, especially for younger readers who want to get creative.

That said… as someone a little older, I found the story and activities a bit simple and repetitive. It’s definitely charming and wholesome, but it didn’t really grab me or make me laugh out loud like some of the other Berenstain Bears books I’ve read.

Three stars because it’s sweet, creative, and perfect for kids who love drawing and interactive stories, but not super exciting for older readers. Still a solid, cute read.
