Part of a new Berenstain Bear series of programs, this one focuses on the theme of cooperation. Here's what you get: a short narrated story, four activities, a multiple user option and adjustable difficulty levels. If you were hoping for the full version and text of the original Berenstain Bears' story about helping others, you'll be disappointed by the short retelling. The accompanying activities are standard fare. One, for instance, has kids helping Mother Bear make quilts by matching patterns. Children can make their own printable quilt designs when they've finished, but the art tools available are too limited. Unfortunately, even though the pro social theme is great, this CD doesn't have much shelf life- our testers played it once and that was about it.
