Summary: Review of Buster Bear's Twins
Review: For my children's Literature class, I read Buster Bear's Twins and wrote a critical review on it. I thought that this book was cute and easy for young readers to understand because it taught simple lessons through talking cartoon animals. Mrs. Bear wanted to teach her twins to obey her and respect all of the other animals in the forest. There was one incident where one of the young cubs disobeyed his mother and was punished for it. I think that this is a good book for children to read because it sort of reinforces the simple lessons that parents try to teach their children. I think that if children can see how a character of a book gets punished for not obeying his parents, maybe children will see that if they disobey their parents they will suffer the consequences. On the other hand, the father is absent in the story. There was one incident that Mrs. Bear had to save one of her cubs from being eaten by their father. I wasn't quite sure if this was a good signal to send to children about their fathers. It really makes them look like the bad guy, and I am not sure young children need to read that fathers are bad while also reading important lessons. Besides the strange father part, I thought this was a cute book.
