The Berenstain Bears and the Spooky Old Tree: A Picture Book for Kids and Toddlers (Big Bright & Early Board Book)

Rather as Dr. Seuss did, the Berenstains wrote and illustrated books that have an immediate appeal for very young children - I have read them successfully to children as young as 20 months - and are also very effective as first or very early readers. This one is not quite as simple linguistically as 'Old Hat, New Hat' or 'Bears in the Night', but it works on the same principle - a very simple story, lively illustrations, some repetition and a happy ending. Three bears venture into the old spooky tree, greatly daring, and find out what lurks there. For the audience at which it is aimed it is excellent, and to those who have the pleasure of reading to very little people, it is a welcome addition to the library.

I bought this book years ago when my own children were small about 30 years ago. My son remembered the story and asked did I still have this book. I just had to buy it again and give him a copy as he loved it so much from all that time ago! Some kids just never grow up huh! Great book with clear pictures for children to follow. Now my grandson loves the book too. Fun reading. Arrived quickly.

Really brilliant magical book. The kind of book that creates happy childhood memories.

My partners favourite childhood book, his sister loved it too, so we bought one for his nephews birthday. Glad to say they were all excited. Little boy wanted to go to bed so he could read it as his bedtime story. Win win!

I used to read this to my 30 something year olds when they were little - now reading to the grandchildren - they love it
