While the rhythm is a a bit off, my kids still liked this story. I think the success is all in the telling and how you read it. On my first attempt at a read through it was dry because I was just reading it. I invested myself in a theatrical telling to read it to the kids and that made all the difference. I encourage any parent reading this to your children to pay attention to rhythm, but read it with real flair. The story will come to life if you go big and over the top with it.

First of all Berenstain Bears are always excellent. This book was a little long but it was still great!!! The gentle BigPaw, and the Thanksgiving Lore was an interesting twist. I liked the rhyming and the story was great! Another great one!!
needed to be more about the holiday ..the title was misleading!
