Berenstain, Stan & Jan
When we were little my sister and I began inadvertently collecting the Berenstain Bears books. It seems that someone gave us a couple of them as gifts and we soon learned that we loved the stories and the pictures. When we discovered the pictures on the back cover showing all the other Berenstain Bear books we made it our goal to own every single one. We never quite reached that goal, but we did collect a lot of them.
I recently purchased 2 of these books for Noah, 2 that I never had as a kid. In this book, Sister learns about strangers. She is a little too trusting and friendly and doesn't understand the concept of stranger danger. When brother tries to watch out for her by asking Papa to explain strangers, Sister takes his advice of caution a little too far. She begins to think that everyone in the world has ill intentions. Once she gets over her fears of strangers she returns to her friendly, out-going self, but tries a little harder to be aware of her surroundings.
This is a very easy, creative way to teach your own children about strangers and the way we should view them.
