The Berenstain Bears Get Stage Fright

When my daughter was young, she froze when she had to recite lines in pre-school or at church. I bought The Berenstain Bears Get Stage Fright to read to her. It proved to be just what she needed. She went on to give talks in church, reports in school, and even excelled in a drama group for several years.

Not only was this book realistically written to be of help to children who participate in events that have them "performing before audiences," it also offered the opportunity to explain "irony" to a six-year-old. The Berenstains offer great "teaching" books. I have purchased many for my granddaughters.

This book is about brother and sister bear. They are in a school play and brother is scared before they go on and sister keeps telling him to calm down it will be all right and finally when it comes to her turn she's the one who is scared. This book relates alot to my life. I took dance for 11 years and every year I'd be fine for a while but then right before I went on stage I'd get scared. After I was on stage everything was fine again. This book helped me learn how to deal with my stage fright before I knew how to and this book I'm sure has and will continue to help other children as well.
