Why read it?

1 author picked The Berenstain Bears and the Summer Job as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Berenstain Bears are nostalgic silver (they get 2nd place because there aren’t as many memes). I especially like ...and the Summer Job because the lessons are so timeless: cause and effect can sometimes be muddy; one must be patient and able to deal with uncertainty; and the joy of a job well done can be a reward in itself.

Even if your kids are too young to be thinking about summer jobs yet (although check those child-labor laws, because they vary by state…), it’s never too early to plant the seeds of a solid work ethic.
