Mama is convinced that Papa and the cubs are spending too much time watching tv and she decides to ban it for a whole week. While the kids try to adjust, sneaky Papa tries to cheat! He is a very bad bear! An amusing butcommon story...maybe there should be a book about too much smart phones as people seem unable to function for one day without one!

The Berenstain Bears are classic books for childhood, even the more modern ones such as TOO MUCH TV. This is a good message for young children from characters they already love and respect.

It's probably for the best that this book was written back in the simpler days of 1984; I think Mama's head would have exploded with the advent of cable, DVRs and streaming. Although Mama probably should have consulted with Papa before instituting an edict of no TV for a week, it's a perfectly good idea and allows for the family to explore other enjoyable screen-free activities. I like that Brother pointedly asks Mama what her issue is with TV as well as her reasonable response to explain her stance which allows for compromise.

The Berenstain Bears books were a staple in my house.
Often being bought by my parents to teach me a lesson.
I remember this one being presented to us.
It was a tough blow

I remember reading this book as a kid and liking it. It's a good book for young kids and parents/guardians will like reading it to them.

Daughter loves this book
Daughter loves this book. By far her favorite Berenstein bears. Most nights can’t go to sleep without reading it. We also implemented this in our house for a whole week and her at three years old understood exactly what we were doing.

I read this book to my kids and now to their kids. The illustrations might be dated, but the message is valid, even applicable to all screen time. Not a concept when published in 1984.
