We love the moral lessons and guidance often found in these books。

mama should have been more angry at the irresponsible parents than her 6 year old child for attending a party。。。。

“One of the most interesting things about a telephone is that when it rings you don’t know who’s calling until you answer it。” That's so quaint to read these days， and that was one thing I particularly hated about phones growing up， so technology is a wonder。 I find it pretty funny that elementary school-aged bears throwing such a rager of a party that the bear police have to step in， but clearly Sister Bear and Mama Bear both have learned more about responsibility and privilege。 The goofy thing “One of the most interesting things about a telephone is that when it rings you don’t know who’s calling until you answer it。” That's so quaint to read these days， and that was one thing I particularly hated about phones growing up， so technology is a wonder。 I find it pretty funny that elementary school-aged bears throwing such a rager of a party that the bear police have to step in， but clearly Sister Bear and Mama Bear both have learned more about responsibility and privilege。 The goofy thing is that Mama Bear pre-sleepover only asks Sister Bear if she knows what the words responsibility and privilege mean， not how those words would apply when sleeping over at a friends' house （ex: cleaning up after yourself， not being so loud the bear police will show up， etc。）。 。。。more

The Berenstain Bears books were a staple in my house。Often being bought by my parents to teach me a lesson。Luckily for my parents I never went to a slumber party gone wrong because I hated slumber parties， I was the kid whose parent was called at 10pm to please come pick up your crying childOnce I went to stay at my friends house who lived 45 minutes away， and as this was before cell phones， my dad pulled into our driveway after dropping me off， only to be told by my mom to get back the car and The Berenstain Bears books were a staple in my house。Often being bought by my parents to teach me a lesson。Luckily for my parents I never went to a slumber party gone wrong because I hated slumber parties， I was the kid whose parent was called at 10pm to please come pick up your crying childOnce I went to stay at my friends house who lived 45 minutes away， and as this was before cell phones， my dad pulled into our driveway after dropping me off， only to be told by my mom to get back the car and go get me。 。。。more

Love the Berenstain Bears but wow is this dated。 I had to explain a "boom box" to my preschooler which lead us down a rabbit hole of explaining 80's technology like what a cassette tape was。 I didn't explain it well。。。 "music was printed in a tiny tape wound up。" My favorite part of the book was when Mama Bear gives a lecture about privilege and responsibility and Sister Bear forgets everything she said pretty much immediately。 In one ear and out they other。 Typical。 Love the Berenstain Bears but wow is this dated。 I had to explain a "boom box" to my preschooler which lead us down a rabbit hole of explaining 80's technology like what a cassette tape was。 I didn't explain it well。。。 "music was printed in a tiny tape wound up。" My favorite part of the book was when Mama Bear gives a lecture about privilege and responsibility and Sister Bear forgets everything she said pretty much immediately。 In one ear and out they other。 Typical。 。。。more

3。75 starsOverall this was an okay book。 However， as another reviewer mentioned， Sister keeps getting reminded about Mama's lecture on "privilege and responsibility" （and how old is Sister by the way？？ Kind of big words） even though Mama simply asked Sister if she knew what those words meant and she explained she did。 Kind of silly。（SPOILER） I think the police being called for a noise complaint is realistic in a small neighbourhood like the Berenstain Bears live in。 3。75 starsOverall this was an okay book。 However， as another reviewer mentioned， Sister keeps getting reminded about Mama's lecture on "privilege and responsibility" （and how old is Sister by the way？？ Kind of big words） even though Mama simply asked Sister if she knew what those words meant and she explained she did。 Kind of silly。（SPOILER） I think the police being called for a noise complaint is realistic in a small neighbourhood like the Berenstain Bears live in。 。。。more

Many out of date elements in the story。 The bears are actually using cassette tape player LOL And they are using an ancient phone without push buttons。Also I didn't like much the story。 Why was the little bear responsible for someone's else party going wrong？ She didn't invite all those troublemakers。 It could have been a nice story for privilege and responsibility。 But it wasn't。 Many out of date elements in the story。 The bears are actually using cassette tape player LOL And they are using an ancient phone without push buttons。Also I didn't like much the story。 Why was the little bear responsible for someone's else party going wrong？ She didn't invite all those troublemakers。 It could have been a nice story for privilege and responsibility。 But it wasn't。 。。。more

Sister goes to her first slumber party and it gets out of hand。 Though why Lizzie's parents would ok a slumber party for a night they wouldn't be there seems strange to me to begin with。 Sister goes to her first slumber party and it gets out of hand。 Though why Lizzie's parents would ok a slumber party for a night they wouldn't be there seems strange to me to begin with。 。。。more

We love the Berenstain Bears books in our house。 They are always filled with great moral stories to help guide children。 This time， Christian learned about being responsible and making good decisions！ <3

Oddly enough I never thought it would be Sister Bear who would do the whole wild party thing， but sure enough， when the slumber party she was invited to has a whole lot less parental supervision than expected， she's right in the thick of things。 They trash the house and things get crazy。 I like how the clean up responsibility was handled， and that we see the downside of this kind of party without glorifying the rest。 Oddly enough I never thought it would be Sister Bear who would do the whole wild party thing， but sure enough， when the slumber party she was invited to has a whole lot less parental supervision than expected， she's right in the thick of things。 They trash the house and things get crazy。 I like how the clean up responsibility was handled， and that we see the downside of this kind of party without glorifying the rest。 。。。more

How fun does this cover make slumber parties look？ Queenie and Too-Tall are like the Rizzo and Kenickie of Berenstain Bears。 Sister goes over to Lizzy Bruin's for a slumber party， which gets out of hand， and Mama Bear gets huffity puffity about it because these first-graders were having more fun than she ever had in her entire life。 Amazingly， Papa Bear is the voice of reason this time: He tells Mama to chill and that they failed as parents by letting Sister go to the party。 How fun does this cover make slumber parties look？ Queenie and Too-Tall are like the Rizzo and Kenickie of Berenstain Bears。 Sister goes over to Lizzy Bruin's for a slumber party， which gets out of hand， and Mama Bear gets huffity puffity about it because these first-graders were having more fun than she ever had in her entire life。 Amazingly， Papa Bear is the voice of reason this time: He tells Mama to chill and that they failed as parents by letting Sister go to the party。 。。。more

Basic Plot: Sister Bear is invited to a slumber party that goes out of control。This book is very useful for starting a conversation with kids about privilege and responsibility。 The Berenstain Bears books have always been wonderful tools for teaching kids lessons about everyday situations， and I read a LOT of them when I was a child。 Now that my son is starting to read books with a little more advanced vocabulary， and he is needing some of these lessons， the Bears are an old friend I can turn to Basic Plot: Sister Bear is invited to a slumber party that goes out of control。This book is very useful for starting a conversation with kids about privilege and responsibility。 The Berenstain Bears books have always been wonderful tools for teaching kids lessons about everyday situations， and I read a LOT of them when I was a child。 Now that my son is starting to read books with a little more advanced vocabulary， and he is needing some of these lessons， the Bears are an old friend I can turn to in a time of need。The plot is straightforward enough- through a lack of communication， bad things happen to kids who meant well。 The really cool thing about this particular book， though， was that it brought up the idea that the parents were just as at fault for making assumptions instead of communicating effectively themselves。 For children， the idea of earning privileges through meeting responsibilities is of paramount importance， so this book really can help an adult begin that ongoing conversation with a child in terms the child can understand。Here's to hoping for success in that teaching。。。 。。。more

Went in one ear and out the other。Sister Bear goes to a slumber party， but the host's parents aren't home and the host ends up inviting a jillion people and some others crash the party and somehow Sister's parents blame her。Mama Bear doesn't give Sister any actual advice or think about what kinds of situations she could get into， only tells her that she has responsibility。 What that responsibility is， is never mentioned。 Is this like Spider-man？ Is she supposed to catch criminals？The best part， Went in one ear and out the other。Sister Bear goes to a slumber party， but the host's parents aren't home and the host ends up inviting a jillion people and some others crash the party and somehow Sister's parents blame her。Mama Bear doesn't give Sister any actual advice or think about what kinds of situations she could get into， only tells her that she has responsibility。 What that responsibility is， is never mentioned。 Is this like Spider-man？ Is she supposed to catch criminals？The best part， Mama Bear's entire pre-party lecture: “You know， sleeping over at a friend's house is a kind of special privilege。 And something that goes with privilege is responsibility。 Do you know what those words mean？” “Sure。 Privilege means being allowed to do stuff， and responsibility means not messing up。” Later， Papa: “Now， you remember what your mama told you about privilege and responsibility。”For more children's book reviews， see my website at http://www。drttmk。com。 。。。more

While I enjoy most of this series， I found this one to be a bit dated。

I loved this book！ Going back and reading this book reminded me of my childhood！ I used to read all the Berenstain Bears books when I was little。 I loved the story line and the fights that the little brother and sister always got into。 They reminded me of how my older brother and I used to be。

This book was strange to me。 The character's don't seem to act appropriately for the age I think they are supposed to be in this series or the age of the target audience for these books。 If this scene had taken place in one of their chapter books that would be one thing， but as a stand alone picture book， I don't really buy it。 This book was strange to me。 The character's don't seem to act appropriately for the age I think they are supposed to be in this series or the age of the target audience for these books。 If this scene had taken place in one of their chapter books that would be one thing， but as a stand alone picture book， I don't really buy it。 。。。more

Students will get into trouble at home， at school， and everywhere in-between。 Sometimes it is their fault， other times it isn't， but lots of times it is a combination of things that happen in order for something to go wrong。 This book would be good to read to show students how a seemingly okay situation can turn bad， especially in the upper grade levels。 Yes， this is a book for small children， but if you read this in a high school or middle school class you could relate it perfectly to their soc Students will get into trouble at home， at school， and everywhere in-between。 Sometimes it is their fault， other times it isn't， but lots of times it is a combination of things that happen in order for something to go wrong。 This book would be good to read to show students how a seemingly okay situation can turn bad， especially in the upper grade levels。 Yes， this is a book for small children， but if you read this in a high school or middle school class you could relate it perfectly to their social lives outside of school and teach them what can happen。 This can also be applied to bad behavior in the classroom， this book can show students that when they do something wrong they need to take ownership for their actions and fix what they did。 This can involve cleaning up a mess like Sister Bear， or even just apologizing for something。 No matter what， students can learn from this book。 And activity to do with your class can involve role play。 Read students a scenario where something bad happens， then assign roles and have them reach a satisfactory conclusion with minimal input from the teacher。 This is a good way to build problem solving skills， and give them a close second to real life experience。 。。。more

Slumber party is such a fun theme but unfortunately the party only takes a couple of the pages while the rest of the book is planning for the party on the phone or preaching the lesson of privilege and responsibility。 It ends up being pretty dry compared to the other Berenstain stories。

Sister Bear is attending her first sleep over with a few friends， or is she？ Somewhere along the line communication was lost and this small sleepover became a call the police to quiet down the masses late night party。 A good book to read before sending your small kiddos to their first slumber party to talk about what not to do。

Hmmm。。。 I usually like the Berenstain Bears books， but this one doesn't seem to fit。 Sister going to a sleepover where a raging party happens？ It's a plot lifted right out of a Hollywood movie。 Sure， it has a good message， but it just doesn't work when everything surrounding the message doesn't feel like it should。Yeah， I could be reading into this too much。 I just think with tapes and boom boxes and telephones without caller ID， etc。 it just is sorely outdated for kids growing up today。 Hmmm。。。 I usually like the Berenstain Bears books， but this one doesn't seem to fit。 Sister going to a sleepover where a raging party happens？ It's a plot lifted right out of a Hollywood movie。 Sure， it has a good message， but it just doesn't work when everything surrounding the message doesn't feel like it should。Yeah， I could be reading into this too much。 I just think with tapes and boom boxes and telephones without caller ID， etc。 it just is sorely outdated for kids growing up today。 。。。more
