This is a cute little book. Not really what I needed for storytime, but still cute. How nice it must be to always know who the bad guys are! I mean, with a name like "Ralph Ripoff," and a description that makes it clear he's the known bad guy, it won't come as a surprise to anyone as to who committed the crime. Still, the process the kids used to figure out what happened to the money is entertaining...even if the solution did require a hint from a poetic owl.

This is a step 2 book for grades 1-3. It follows the detective bears along there journey of finding the watermelon money robber. It's an interesting book for children who are just starting to get the hang of reading. They will have fun trying to find out who took the money. The pictures are big and bright and there's enough that little ones will enough getting lost in the art.

not one of the books by The Berenstain that I'm familiar with but it was a good read in my son enjoyed it. Brother bear and his friends are detectives and when money gets stolen from Uncle Ben they're on the case turns out the local crook stole the money and ate a bunch of watermelons to boot and he was caught 'green' handed.
