★★★★The Berenstain Bears and the Big Road Race By Stan and Jan Berenstain
This one starts with 4 big, shiny, brand new, race cars and Brother Bears "Little Red." Little Red is left in the dust, when the flag drops. But fast doesn't always mean better, slow and stead, wins the race.

I say concept books because there are four colors featured throughout the book, but, really, it's just a great story!
Told in rhyme, it's sort of like the tortoise and the hare, but when you're reading it you just can't figure out how little Red is EVER going to get to that finish line!
The illustrations are great,
the story simple,
and children can guess what words comes next, thanks to simple rhymes.
An oldie but a goodie!

This is the 15th Berenstain Bears book that I have read. This book is a little different from some of the other ones in the series in that it rhymes. Perhaps the Berenstain's were taking a page from Dr. Seuss' book. Also there isn't a really big storyline in this books. It just describes a car race. This story is pretty cute and funny. I think it's my favorite Berenstain Bears story so far.
My family owned this book growing up. I remember loving my mom's inflections when she read it.
Now I read it to my kids and they memorize it by age two. They love everything about this racing book, from the rhyming to Little Red's putt-putt-putting.
My favorite part continues to be Dead Bear's Curve.

This is a cute story that is very similar to the story of "The turtle and the hare." Shows how being reckless, mean, cocky or a cheater can backfire. And how the underdog can sometimes come out on top. Cute story that the kids enjoy.
I liked the rhyming in this book and also the lesson learned. The lesson is that even though you may be the underdog don't give up. Always keep trying and you may succeed.
Read on a marathon BB book day in Austin, this one is a tale based on the Tortoise and the Hare and is written for younger readers.

This is a great book. Helps with colors. The story rhymes and makes it easy for kids to remember parts and be able to read along.
