This is the 11th Berenstain Bears book that I have read. In this story sister bear has a birthday party and everything goes wrong but then later on her parents and her brother make her feel better and everything works out. Sister bear is sort of a whiny brat in this book. I just noticed while reading this book that brother and sister bear sleep in the same bedroom. I think it's a little weird that a 6 year old girl and an 8 year old boy share a bedroom. I also think it's weird that the kids are

This book takes me back to my childhoo! I think I had all of the Berenstein Bears books. I do think though that these are a little dated in the writing.

The boys like to look at the pictures in this one. Mom and Dad dislike the text, so the kids get a redacted version of the story.

I read this to Eleanor tonight, as it's Gwennie's birthday tomorrow.
She carried it around for the rest of the night.

Awesome book for students having trouble dealing with new siblings or even building a community in the classroom.

Why are they playing kissing games at a six-year-old birthday party? Of course Sister Bear would be upset. Please!

On Hazel's actual birthday she said, "I think I had too much birthday." Awesome. It is like books help her learn.

I love this story, because the lesson is so very important and often overlooked in children's books - that is, the childhood experience of being TOO excited, too dreamy, and anticipating a perfect party until the expectations are exhausting and the kid just loses it. As a young reader, I didn't particularly like hearing about a birthday party that was too much fun to handle - "More perfect Cinderella-like parties, please!" - but it's necessary that children learn about it.

I totally used this book as a reference point for Bridget at her birthday. She would start to get worked up about something or over stimulated and I would recall Bridge's memory to Sisters birthday. It helped her collect herself and take little breaks instead of break down.

I used to read these with my parents all the bloody time! Most of them were so loved that they had all fallen apart.

This really brings back memories. I really related to the characters because my little brother and sister had all the fun.

Collin enjoyed this book. The Berenstain Bears never fail to entertain and teach a lesson.

I dislike these books because of the hapless father and the many bratty children.
