 Coolness: 154940 | "I was playing in the sandbox the other day," Johnson said. "Spencer was making fun of Kate's dress. I remembered when Brother Bear learned his lesson in Too Much Teasing. Brother thought it was fun to tease, until someone teased him. Then it was no fun."
"I told Spencer he should read Too Much Teasing, and then he wouldn't tease anymore," Melody said. "But he just called me a rotten egg. I tried to give the book to him so he could borrow it. But he wouldn't take it. It's a good book. It's funny, and it'd teach him a lesson." Some of Melody's other friends have been more receptive to her testimonials about the life-changing power of the Berenstain Bears. Best friend Angie Bishop started reading the books after Johnson recommended them at a recent sleepover. "I read Get The Gimmies as soon as Melody told me about it, and I really liked it," Bishop said. "I went to the library and got lots of other ones, too. I've been reading them all week. My favorites are The Berenstain Bears Forget Their Manners and The Berenstain Bears Visit The Dentist. Others are super good, too." Added Bishop: "Melody found them first. But I think I understand them a little better. I'm like Sister Bear. She says something and I think, 'That's what I would say.'" Johnson, who has been reading above her grade level for the past two years, does not view reading as a contest. Johnson's mother agreed that her daughter's outlook has changed for the better. "Not only has she learned a lot of life lessons, but she also learned to ride a bike without training wheels," Carrie Johnson said. "She never fights nap-time anymore, and she's making great strides with her violin playing. I haven't seen her this inspired since last year, when she was blown away by getting to shake hands with the Three Little Pigs at Storybook Gardens." |
