  • The Big Honey Hunt

    Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain

    Paperback (Harpercollins Pub Ltd, June 30, 1984)
    The Berenstain Bears go on an adventure all small children will find attractive: Small Bear watches his 'smart old Dad' escape one danger after another in THE BIG HONEY HUNT. 'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme, and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.
