This book surprised me a bit, in particular with the way that Papa first regards the new family moving in across the street.

"When pandas rather than brown bears move in across the dirt road deep in Bear Country, Papa Bear is concerned about the new neighbors being different. When the Bear family gets to know the Panda family, they befriend them and welcome them to the neighborhood, and Papa realizes just how interesting and important different-looking people can be."

The house next door has been sold to a new family and the cubs are excited about the idea of new friends to play with. Mama is ready to welcome the new family with her special honey but when Papa sees that it is a Panda family, he is a bit wary of them because they are different from his family. He soon learns that different can be good.

This is a pretty good book about being nice to new neighbors. It also teaches students that there are different types of bears. The story also teaches students not to judge people before they get to know them.

Berenstain Bear books are cheap, and cover nearly every issue, but they sometimes have problems with them.
Take this one.
Papa Bear is often the foil to Mama's wisdom. Unfortunately, that means in this book he's stuck being the bigot, disliking their neighbors for being different... even though he's never been presented like that before.
His objections are settled miraculously - and unbelievably - quickly as well.
The whole book comes across as very More...
