Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners
Stan Berenstain · 2011
78/100
👍 Worth It
This Berenstain Bears classic delivers a clear, funny lesson about manners through a cause-and-effect structure that young kids can actually follow. Mama's Politeness Plan feels a little mechanical by today's standards, but the humor keeps it from feeling preachy. A reliable read-aloud for families working on everyday courtesy.
