Our Review

This gentle Berenstain Bears story provides a comforting roadmap for young children facing the big transition of moving to a new home. The narrative thoughtfully walks through the family's process of packing their belongings, saying goodbye to friends and neighbors, and traveling to their new tree house down a sunny dirt road. It directly addresses the mix of sadness and excitement that comes with such a significant life change, making it an ideal resource for families preparing for a move.

What makes this book particularly valuable is its ability to validate a child's feelings while focusing on the positive aspects of a new beginning. The inclusion of over 50 bonus stickers adds an interactive element that can help a child feel more involved in their own moving process. This story will resonate most with preschoolers and kindergarteners who need reassurance that while goodbyes are hard, new adventures and friends await. It’s a tender, practical tool for turning a potentially stressful family event into a manageable, even exciting, childhood experience.
