Summary
The Berenstain Bear family is going to move from their cave on Great Bear Mountain to a home down in the valley. Brother Bear is so scared to move away from the cave because all his friends are there. Mother and father Bear tell him it'll all be okay and he can make new friends and still
Personal Reaction
I have alwasy loved the Berenstain Bear books, they were something that I grew up reading and I think they all teach a different lesson. I think that since they are using fictional characters with pictures it makes it easy for the children to relate to and that they can help them through different tough times.
Classroom Extension
1. I think this is a great book that can be used when children are transitioning from one point in life to another that might be hard to deal with. Whether it be going to a new school, moving up in school, or moving to a new home this could help a child through all of it.
2. It could be used in a unit based around the Berenstain Bears.

write his old friends. Brother bear is still sad but they still pack and are ready to move the next morning. The next morning they move to their new neighborhood and to their new tree house. Brother Bear likes it, but it needs work. He is to busy imagining the house that he didnt realize all the families that came to welcome him, and all the bear cubs he could be friends with.
