Good book
Good book with a good lesson to learn. My kids enjoy reading it and it's a good reminder for the them of how to behave when we go into a store.
My childhood
I loved these books when I was younger I bought them for my niece and nephews and I can’t say a bad thing about it great quality great book has great learning quai
Love the Berenstain Bears
I read to my daughter nightly and when she started with wanting everything in sight I had to order this book for our library. I forgot how much I loved reading the Berenstain Bears when I was little.
Classic Berenstain Bears Tale
Stan and Jan Berenstain truly are ingenious. In The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies, Mama and Papa pull one of the most clever tricks they have ever pulled on their cubs. I think this story teaches a great lesson through comedy, humiliation, and consequences of being self-indulgent. There were several parts that my four-year-old son and I were laughing out loud so very hard. I laughed so hard that it brought a couple of tears to my eyes. I love the time I spend with my child. We spend much of our time reading, because he enjoys listening to story books so much. We have only had this selection in our Berenstain Bear Collection for a couple of weeks now and we have already read it a handful of times. This book accomplishes it's goal of teaching children another lesson on being morally right, while steering away from being morally wrong. I wanted to mention that I have written a review on The Berenstain Bears Get the Screamies. I didn't speak all that highly of that particular Berenstain Bear title. I think that the goal of teaching the "Get the Screamies" life lesson was accomplished in this book. The "Gimmies" after all are what lead to the "Screamies." I mentioned in the review on Get the Screamies that it was my opinion that a book was just thrown together and sent to the printing press. The Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies teaches more than one lesson, while the Screamies lesson is still up-in-the-air to me. This book clarifies a specific reverse psychological idea that Mama and Papa implement in their tree house, down a sunny, dirt road, deep in Bear Country. I wish Get the Screamies would have been an addition to this book. It would have been a good idea to just grown on the same concepts written and hinted to in the Berenstain Bears Get the Gimmies. I'm so glad that Get the Gimmies is one of my son's books from his collection of various titles, including the rather large collection of Berenstain Bear Books. Every family should read this very book. =)

My daughter loves this book!
Terrific book, great condition
Berenstain Bears are always wonderful! Arrived quickly in excellent condition.
Mostly helps with an anti-gimmie lesson...
I forgot that at the end of this book the parents agree the cubs can get 1 item every time they go to the store... How about you don't get anything unless it is offered? My 5 year old always enjoys Berenstain Bears books but I had to explain to him that...no...you don't always get something when going along to the store.
Helpful book - a little different from other Berenstain books, I thought.
We really enjoy most Berenstain Bears book because the lessons are appropriate and easy for my 4 year old to understand. Be prepared, however, because I thought this book was going to have the message that you don't get something each time you go to the store but actually, it expresses that it is OK to have something when you go to the store you just have to first decide what it is and you can only have that one thing. Which, you know, is good advice and all, but I guess I was a little surprised because I have found that usually the message expressed by the Berenstain Bears is that you should be thankful for what you already have. Anyhow, I suppose it makes sense because if you the parent are buying things for the household, or what could seem like for yourself through the eyes of a child, then it would seem unfair that they shouldn't receive a small token themselves. I suppose the book made me reconsider my attitude.
Great lessons in relatable stories.
My son loves this book. He is 27 and autistic, and this has been one of his favorites for years. He can’t read or write, but he loves to have it read to him, even though he’s memorized every word.
Beautiful life lessons
I love the positive parenting lessons found in the berenstain books. This was an excellent example of a family coming together to find a solution to undesirable behavior.
