![]() ![]() It's a cute little story, and I always love to see Berenstain Bears books in which one of the parents learns a lesson. So when Brother and Sister Bear, along with their neighbors, put together a Father's Day celebrating at a local restaurant and surprise Papa Bear, he's thrilled. Of course, he ends up succumbing to his human (er, bear?) nature and, you know, having those little things we like to call "feelings" and winds up disappointed that his family so easily complied with his anti-Father's Day spiel. So while he thinks mother's day is a great idea, his ingrained sexism leads him to insist that the idea of a day dedicated to celebrating fathers' familial contributions is ridiculous and purely commercial. He's clearly one of the many men who suffer from the belief that there's something inherently unmasculine about having any feelings whatsoever. Its Fathers Day, and Papa thinks that Mama and the cubs have forgotten all about it. a less emotionally enlightened upbringing, let's call it. The Berenstain Bears and the Papas Day Surprise. ![]() And now for something completely different: a Berenstain Bears book without a terrible moral!
