THE POINT: To teach kids that moving from one town to another is OK an that it happens all the time and that there's nothing to be afraid of etc. (It's a little dated in that respect though inasmuch as I've never seen neighborhood families come out of the woodwork to greet someone that just moved in down the block. Or maybe that just more "naïvely quaint" than it is "dated".) As far as children's stories go though, I'm sure this is one that gets the job done.

Moving day tells the story that many of your students will be able to relate to and that is when a family is uprooted and moves to a new community. There can be some anxiety associated with moving and worrying about how new people will receive you. In the end of the book it is realized that everything works out and the family is quite comfortable in their new treehouse.

Moving day can be an exciting and scary day for a young cub and a young child. This would be a wonderful book to share with a child before they move themselves. It does well explaining how things will be the same in one way, their items will all be going with them. And how it will be different in others, they won't be right next to the same friends and neighbors. After reading about this moving adventure the Berenstain Bear's have it might encourage children to become excited about their own new...more

This is a really cute and popular children's book. It is about the Bear family moving from the mountains to the valley and Brother Bear is worried at first because the cave is all he has ever known. Will he like the new place? I could use this book if a student of mine is about to move away and is a little nervous about it. I could also use this book in Science to talk about different regions and landforms.
Read on a marathon BB book day in Austin. Logan chose to read a whole group of them, including this one.
This is an early story in the Bears' family history, when they first moved to Bear Country and Brother was an only child.
They gave up their cave and moved to a tree house. Will Brother like his new surroundings? The cave is all he's ever known. . .

This is more of a project book. Goal: In 30 pages or less, tell kids that moving to a new house, town, or neighborhood is going to be alright. The End. I suppose if you just need a jump start for a moving discussion this could get you there, but there's not much of the character or humor that we usually associate with Berenstain Bears here and not much fun either.
This book's lack of dialog is a departure from the rest of the series and threatens to alienate longtime readers who may be afraid they've stumbled upon the equivalent of a cold French art film on paper. But Stan Berenstain's love for his characters shines through in the narration despite the sparseness. The emotional apex of the series.
Brother Bear is very used to the cave that his family live in so he is a bit worried when Mama and Papa Bear decide that it is time to leave the mountains and move into the big valley. Brother is sad to say goodbye to his old friends but he can look forward to a big new treehouse and lots of cubs to play with.
This book can help students that are moving away and going to attend another school. Most of my placement classrooms has a students that is moving away or no longer going to attend the school. This is a great way to give understanding to other classmates and help ease the anxiety for the student that is moving away. This can be read during a morning meeting and followed by an activity, having students write a farewell card for the classmate that is leaving.
I used this book to talk about why I was leaving first grade to go to second grade. It was also show them that change is sometimes better. The kids wrote about a time when they had to move away. It is a good book to use to talk about moving to a different place.
It was a really good book. It had really good illustrations, great characters and a good storyline. I read this book in a long time. I really enjoyed reading Berenstain Bears books. I'd recommend this book to Berenstain Bears fans.
Their stuff is all packed!
Here comes the truck!
Let's move with the Bears
And wish them good luck.
Before Sister was born, the Bears lived in a cave and they moved to the treehouse they live in now.

This is great for kids if they are moving.I remember moving but to a different home.I was still in my same town.It shows kids not to be scared and that in the end it is okay.
I think there's a very good reason that this book series has spanned decades and maintained popularity. It gives children the chance to think on their own and make their own choices for behaviors that carry over into their adult lives. Many of these issues will be ones that will persist through their lives, just on different levels of course.

I liked this book. Brother loved his friends but he had to move away. He was sad that he had to move but at the end he made new friends at his new house. The end!
These books are great for families trying to teach children valuable life lessons, this book helps families prepare kids for what to expect when they move.
I remember my parents bought me this book when we moved the first time. I can't remember how much it helped me out. But I do remember loving it.
This was a great book for us as we got it close to when we moved. Owen was still a little young to understand, but he likes!
My kids love all the berenstain bear books! Always great lessons & values taught! :)
I never moved in my whole childhood, but this one prepared me for when my friends had to.
This book is great for students who is dealing with the change of moving
Good prep for a new move with little people. boys still love it
We read this a lot just before we moved the last time.
We reread this to get ready for the big move
Enjoyed this moving book...
This is an excellent book for children to learn that change can be a little scary but good. Children can relate to what brother bear was going through with all his worries and stresses.

This is a classic Berenstain Bears book. I thorougly enjoyed it. No moral, just life. I WAS a little surprised at the open mention of chopping down all the trees--but then again, this IS a classic (aka old book) and wasn't written during a time of environmental awareness as much. I'm going to hope that their stop polluting book makes up for it. :)
