wasn't what I expected it to be, It seems like it's devoid of all of their usual lessons and moral to the story, It's also lacking in other ways because it isn't rhyming as they often do, Not every book has to rhyme but I find they were at their best when they were rhyming, Also, the title page has a paragraph that rhymes: "The Tooth Fairy has a job that's funny, She takes away teeth and puts back money!" That naturally led me to believe that the book would rhyme, I found this to be really random and filled with details and events that didn't have anything at all to do with the tooth fairy and losing a tooth.
It felt like they got sidetracked and didn't know how to display the story and got off on tangents at parts,
The summary set up the issue that Sister was upset that her friend Lizzy was receiving more from the Tooth Fairy than she was, and I know these authors, there's almost always a moral to be learned and a lesson to be taught to kids on what is right and wrong.
Mama never misses an opportunity to teach her kidsand her husbandwhat she thinks is best,
So imagine my utter shock as Sister gets her way and receives the same amount as Lizzy! I could not believe what I was reading!
It all started with Sister having lost another baby tooth and when she told Lizzy about it, Lizzy said she got a dollar, which caused Sister to be upset and wonder why the Tooth Fairy gave Lizzy more than her.
It was a nice touch that Sister thought the Tooth Fairy was
almost as good as Santa and the Easter Bunny, because that's how kids really feel and those are the big players for children.
I expected Mama to set Sister straight on money not being important, and it doesn't matter what others are getting paid, A quarter is plenty and blah blah blah, whatever she felt was adequate to put her daughter so far down she never, ever questioned the amount of the Tooth Fairy deemed to leave her again! But Mama explained that some parents add extra, but they think it's the Tooth Fairy's job.
And then Papa said sometimes the price of things goes up and maybe the price of teeth went up just like gas did, I could not believe it, They were just going along with it and not saying anything to discourage her,
This is where it branched off for me, She went on about her business, doing all kinds of things unrelated to missing teeth, Playing house, ball, painting, shopping, fishing, and looking forward to Lizzy's bday party, These things were so random, and a birthday party was so completely random,
She had another missing tooth, Mama said the Tooth Fairy would bring her a quarter, and Sister hoped for a dollar, at which point Papa said she's paying more these days, and Mama agreed that he had explained the price is going up.
Brother said he never got a whole dollar and I felt so bad for him, What you do you one kid, you do for the other, You don't do more for one, especially when the other remembers that you did less for them, Talk about unfair and a bad lesson, Worse, Mama was shown listening at the door, and she ends up giving Sister the dollar when the tooth finally came out, How could she do that to Brother knowing how he felt!
The party was "oldfashioned," with games like Pin the Tail on the Donkey, musical chairs, charades, Duck Duck Goose, pinata, and apple bobbing.
It was weird that a kid would choose to have an outdated party, . . I didn't understand that.
It was also a surprise that Sister and Brother slept in bunk beds, because I didn't know they even shared a room much less a bed like that.
That's wrong.
Sister found a dollar and Papa explained that her baby teeth are precious and show she's growing up fast, and they're worth every penny.
She grinned and they grinned and that was that, What an unfinished ending. Notably absent from the proceedings was Brother, whose bed was empty, At least he didn't have to be there to witness that,
This didn't have a lesson and so didn't have a point to me, Unless the point was for children to get their way and have to keep up with the Joneses, I think it's a dangerous lesson to teach kids that they can get whatever their friends get and that their parents will match what their friends are getting.
I expect them to not place so much importance on money, maybe explaining that you could get nothing at all, so a quarter is better than the alternative of getting nothing.
This missed the mark and isn't up to their usual standard, But upon looking at the date I noticed it's fromwhich is really recent, and it's with Jan and her son instead of Stan, so that explains it, because the later books totally lost steam and didn't live up to the older ones which had lessons and morals and actual points.
The family dynamic, plot, and stories just went downhill, I'm leery about trying any of the ones which their son has written or cowritten, So I got this one because one of my teeth started to get all wiggly and so I wanted to figure out what to do about it.
And that's what this book is about, This little girl bear thinks she's gonna lose a tooth, and so she finds out that she gets a dollar from the tooth fairy every time she loses a tooth.
So that's what's going to happen when I lose MY tooth, I'll get MONEY.
I don't know if I liked this one or not, They have a lot of books at the library with these bears and kids like them, but I don't know, I like books about REAL bears, not bears that act like people, But I guess bears that act like people are less scary to some kids than real bears that might eat them, I smile each time I read how the parents handle Sister discovering that the tooth fairy gives more money to her friend than to her, Papa's got a funny line in here too, Could be a great lesson on fairness and teaching being grateful for what you get, The newer Bear Bear books are just so awful, I can't even fathom why publishers are still releasing their books, For one, they all suck, Second, the illustrations look like shit, Jan's like ninety when this book was written, let the lady chill and stop forcing her to illustrate this crap, I feel like Mike Berenstain is a dick in real life, Not as good as the original BB books, but kids will still like it, . . especially if it convinces the "tooth fairy" to bring them more money, This book literally makes me laugh out loud with the humor put in for parents, We have a very old copy and love sitelinkThe Berenstain Bears Visit the Dentist where sister has a loose tooth, and here again she has another loose tooth, but this time the focus is on the quarter or dollar that comes from the tooth fairy.
This little story is fun to include another childhood whimsical fancy such as the tooth fairy, but it includes some economics as well with inflation and equality of fairness.
It's amusing. It entertained my daughter with the story and entertained me with reality,
Thanks to HC for providing a copy for review,
scheduled: sitelink com/blog/ Sister Bear has a loose tooth, and she can't wait for it to fall out, The Tooth Fairy will come and leave a quarter under her pillow! But then Sister finds out that her friend Lizzy Bruin got a whole dollar for the last tooth she lost.
Sister wonders how much the Tooth Fairy will leave her this time, Full color. This wasn't a bad Berenstain Bear's book but wasn't one of the better ones either, Sister Bear has loose teeth and is excited 'cause she gets a quarter for her tooth, But Lizzy her friend says she gets a dollar, Sister wants to know why Lizzy gets more for hers than Sister does, So Mama and Papa explain as best they can to her, My favorite part was when Sister grabbed the apple amp her tooth fell out, sitelink Stan and Jan Berenstain often called The Berenstains were American writers and illustrators best known for creating the childrens book series the Berenstain Bears, Their son sitelink Mike Berenstain joined them as a creative team in the lates, sitelink Stan and Jan Berenstain often called The Berenstains were American writers and illustrators best known for creating the children's book series the Berenstain Bears, Their son sitelink Mike Berenstain joined them as a creative team in the lates, sitelink.
