    4.0 out of 5 stars A lesson of sharing., December 9, 2000
    This is a charming look at paying attention to the needs of others. Papa Bear is determined to find the "perfect" tree so he takes the kids up the mountain on his quest. Every "perfect" tree is the home to another animal, bird, etc. The bears pass each by to let the animals keep their home(s). In the end, the tree expedition is stopped by a storm and the bears return home without a tree at all. When they arrive, their house has been decorated by all the animals whose homes have been spared. A message of sharing that grown-ups and kids alike should see.

    4.0 out of 5 stars great family christmas animated feature, November 4, 1999
    By A Customer
    This animated Christams tale, tells the story of Papa Bear's quest to find the perfect Christmas tree. But, oh no! The one he finds is home to so many animals. Will he learn to share? This movie is warm and family-spirited. Great enjoyment!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great TV Christmas special from late 1970's, March 23, 2006
    Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
    This is an "Emmy Award" winning half hour TV special. This VHS tape of the special was released in 1979, and is my favorite of all the Berenstein videos. It is out of print now, and has not been released on DVD as of the date of this review.

    In the story, it is Christmas time where the Bear family lives in a hollow tree, in a town of bears. The family wants to decorate a tree, with all their favorite decorations and star. It is time to get a tree before it is too late. Mom wants Poppa to get a tree down at Gus's lot, but Poppa Bear wants to go out and find a tree in the woods and take the little bears with him. Momma does not want them to, since a snow storm is moving in, but the bears trudge up the mountain anyway. They find several "perfect trees", but in each case they find that other animals live in these tree already. Some of the animals are scary and chase the bears away, some are tiny and afraid to lose their home. The bears have to decide what to do about this as... Read more

      2.0 out of 5 stars Not the original - VERY disappointed, June 25, 2010
      Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
      I bought this book because I saw it in a hardcover format and wanted a copy that would last longer than my old paperback. I should have listened to the earlier review about it not being the same book.
      If you know the original, don't even bother with this one. The text has been revised to reflect a more religious tone. Of course, if you are a "Jesus is the reason for the season" person, these are good changes. There are biblical references, Sunday school edits, nativity scene additions, and they even cut out any mention of Santa by name. They have also cut out the entire last page of text and illlustrations.
      If you are NOT religiously inclined and really want a copy, see if you can find an older version of the book. Original copyright was 1980. I use the older version in my classroom. For obvious reasons, this one is out for school purposes. This edition is going straight back to Amazon. If I had known that this was an altered version, I would have never purchased it... Read more

      4.0 out of 5 stars Not the original story, January 30, 2010
      Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
      This was my son's favorite Christmas book when he was growing up. I ordered this new one for a first grade class. There have been some additions which, because I KNOW the original, detract from the text. However, it is essentially the same beautiful message and the wonderful artwork is essentially the same. I still recommend this book though the buyer should be aware of the additions.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Christmas Tree Story, December 17, 2009
      By 
      Anne (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
      (VINE VOICE)    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
      The Berenstain Bears are funny to me. A friend once pointed out to me that Ma Bear is always the one who makes the right choice and Pa Bear always seem to go his own way--which is often a foolish way at first, but then he learns a lesson in the process of the story--along with brother and sister bear. Sometimes I think I get a little too critical of books and the message in them--essentially cynical. This thought occurred to me today: I wondered how I would feel if it was the Ma Bear making the foolish choice in this story? The plot hinges around someone (really everyone) learning more about and remembering the true spirit of Christmas--the joy of Christ--Giving, not Getting.

      In this story, Pa Bear takes the cubs out to find a tree. He doesn't want to buy the same old tree from the same lot everyone else has bought theirs from. No, he wants to go into the forest to find his own perfect tree for Christmas. In the process, he remembers that Christmas is about... Read more

      The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights)

      Product Description

      'Honor your father and your mother,' Exodus 20:12 Even good cubs can fall into bad habits and Brother and Sister have gotten into the habit of sometimes treating their Mama and Papa with less than the respect they deserve. A shrug or a grunt or a 'I dunno' or 'who cares?' when asked a question or given a request is not how youngsters should speak to their eldsters whomever they may be!

        5.0 out of 5 stars Great story!, October 12, 2011
        A funny and tongue-in-cheek look at the problem of respecting one's elders. Everyone gets into the act--the kids get a little cheeky with their parents and the parents take the grandparents for granted--good lessons for all, here. This is one of the Berenstain Bears' spiritual titles--part of their Living Lights series--and illustrates its lessons with Biblical quotations. If you can't stand religion or Bible quotations, this may not be the book for you. But, if like many of us, you are iterested in reinforcing moral lessons with religious principles, this series fits the bill.

        Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
        What a great subject matter for kids these days. I have read almost every Berenstain book to my girls. This one was too dry, preachy, not funny. I am glad though someone is willing to write on this subject.

        Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
        This book is well written just like all the other Berenstain Bear books. The only thing I wish was included was a definition or real showing of what respect is exactly. My kids enjoyed reading it and seemed to get the message, so maybe they don't need it spelled out to understand it.
