Transitional Books

Abstract

A familiarity with the dolls goes a long way toward appreciating this book, but given their enduring popularity among the targeted age group, that shouldn't be a problem. The Berenstain Bear family visits the Great Bear Museum, where their friend Doctor Bear teaches them about various real-life bear species. VERDICT Though these homages to Warner's old stories may appeal to the parents of new readers more than the readers themselves, the books still serve as fun mysteries on a beginner reading level.—Rachel Owens Chapter Books AHN, Angela.
