Berenstain, S., & Berenstain, J. (1981). The berenstain bears go to the doctor. New York, NY: Random House Books for Young Readers.
As my preschooler comes home each week and talks about his new unit or what they are "talking about" this week I always try to coordinate a book to go with his unit to reinforce every night. When he came home Friday talking about careers and the doctor it was the perfect opportunity to bring this book out. The Berenstein Bears are usually a timeless favorite of all that come into contact with their stories/books. The story helps parents to ease the fear of their young children who are going to the doctor for the first time or returning after a "bad" trip. A story that offers person versus self conflict and person versus society conflict.
What are some big questions you would ask your students after reading this book? Would you focus more on the conflicts or the ability to overcome fears? Would this be an educational lesson or a personal/moral lesson, or would you even feel comfortable in admitting to not making it educational?
