Berenstain Bears (updated 11.29.11)

  • We have begun shipping the replacement Berenstain Bears books
  • Page numbering has changed with this replacement. It is now "consecutive" numbering, instead of starting over for each "book" within the bind-up
  • Customers can download the updated schedule

Beginning 8/31/11 we began including a letter with each order for item #PS12 (Berenstain Bears). Here is a copy of the letter:
You may notice that the enclosed copy of The Berenstain Bears’ Big Book of Science and Nature does not have the quality binding you’d expect from a Sonlight book. I agree. And I am concerned that eventually, this book may start to fall apart and lose pages.

I sent the enclosed copy to you now because it is scheduled in the very first week of the Core P4/5 Instructor’s Guide and I want you to have the materials you need when you start your year. But please know I expect to receive a new batch of books with quality bindings from the publisher soon.

As soon as we have them in stock, I will send you a brand new copy of the Big Book of Science and Nature at no charge. I hope to start shipping the new books within the next 6 weeks.

I truly apologize for this inconvenience. Several customers have told us that this is one of their children’s favorite books; so I’ll make sure you get a copy that will hold up over time.

  • NOTE If customers have questions or concerns about this issue, please direct them to CR.

Why does the schedule jump around so much?
Students will be learning a letter a week, beginning in Week 10 with the letter A. From Week 10 on, Sarita chose stories that match the letter of the week and it needs to jump around in the books in order to match. We do describe this in the introduction about Language Arts, but customers seem to be missing this. The new activities are also focused on the letter of the week. (5.14.10)

Developing the Early Learner

Customer description

Developing the Early Learner Update - The Record Sheet on the back cover of books 2-4 does not match the skills worked on in the book. There are other discrepancies including an extra row titled "Comprehension/Categories" that does not match any of the book content. Since we do not publish this book, we are unable to offer any corrections. (8.2.07)

Stories from Around the World Description of stories, opinion of users on content

Berenstain Bears

Why include this volume?

Why do we provide literature "treasuries" in Core P4/5 instead of individual books?

There is financial value to using a treasury. We tend, for the most part, to stay away from hardback books because they cost more, and they weigh more, thus costing more to ship (especially creating a hardship for our international customers). Also, in some cases, stories included in a treasury are no longer available as a single volume as they are out of print.
