  There's nothing like a little fun in the sun with the Berenstain Bears! This time around, we go to the beach and have a nice summer vacation with the coolest bears in town. A great summer read full of sweet rhymes. =)

  In this book, the Berenstain bears go on vacation to Gull Island. They go Fishing, they go to the gull island museum, swimming, building sand castles, browsing through the general store, eating delicious dinners at the Gull Island Cafe.

  This is not my favorite B-bears book. It's kind of a Dad-bashing book because the silly Dad keeps violating all the rules he gives the kids for safety at the seashore. Oh sure, the kids and Mom get a good laugh, but poor old Dad-Bear ends up with more than one bump on his noggin. This book made me afraid to go on vacation with my kids.

  Really nice illustrations abound in this Berenstein Bears' adventure. The story is written in poetic fashion. It is easy and fun to read--nice flow and beat. The rhyme scheme is variable. Overall very enjoyable beach vacation for the Berensteins, the reader and those little listeners. Wonderful as a silent read as well.

  I've read a lot of Berenstain Bear books in my life, especially recently to my 2 year old. This was held his attention way better than most of the "regular" books. He loved pointing out the water, birds, boats, etc. and I think the rhyming helped him pay attention better. For a toddler, this was a great book.

  Why does the mother always have to stay behind? Why does she always have to wear a floor-length gown, even when she's swimming? It's too little, too late when she catches the biggest fish. This book depressed me.

  I didn't like how this one rhymed. Most of the BB books are just prose, and I think that works better. There were several parts where the rhymes were awkward--either the phrasing or the rhythm or both was off. I think it would have been better just as prose.

  I love Papa Bear's teaching method! (I model plenty of mistakes myself fo the kids)

  Big hit with the girls and makes us all wish it was still summer break. Can't beat the Bears.

  It's summer vacation, and the Berenstain Bears are off to the seashore for sun and fun. There is so much to do -- swimming, fishing, building sand castles, browsing through the general store, eating delicious dinners at Gull Island Café. Each glorious sunrise heralds a new adventure. Even a rainy day becomes a fun day with a visit to Gull Island Museum. Everything they see there tells them a story, from the pirate flag to the splintered oar of a whaler's dory. Days at the shore pass quickly, and the Berenstain Bears must head home.

  I absolutely adored these books growing up, and I always got sucked into the bear family’s adventures. Now, there’s a new baby sister, but the fun continues, and I love how they have the similar plot structure and rhyming words (literally- their books were what introduced me to rhymes growing up). These are classics for generations!
