Care Bears: Journey to Joke-A-Lot (Scholastic Readers)

Summary: Simple Retelling For Young Readers
Review: This is a retelling of the new Care Bears feature "Journey to Joke-A-Lot" for young readers. The plot is distilled to its most basic elements, with all references to the villain plot and the more complex elements of the story removed.

The basic plot is that after an accident, Funshine Bear and Grumpy Bear have a disagreement when Grumpy feels that Funshine doesn't take anything seriously. Funshine is worried by this pronouncement and decides to leave Care-A-Lot for someplace where he can crack jokes without hurting anyone's feelings. He ends up becoming King of Joke-A-Lot, but his friends all miss him and want him back.

This will probably be a good read for any young kid who is just starting to read. The illustrations are also nicely done and well worth looking at.
