All I need to say is classic, because that's what the Berenstain Bears are.

I was never sick from primary school for long enough to be given "make-up work"... nor did we even have homework, really! So this was one of my intriductions to strange American ideas :P

Good kids book. It's worth reading to your kids, I think. Who knows? It might teach them that getting into trouble isn't always worth it.

I enjoy Beranstain's approach to dealing with trouble. Might be considered naive, but considering the audience, it is quite appropriate.
