Goodreads

In this easy reader episode of the Berenstain Bear family, a track meet with Mama Bear as the coach provides the vehicle for learning comparisons.  In clear, repetitive phrasing and simple sentence structure that corresponds to the #1 Beginning Reader designation, the bear family competes against each other at various track meet events.  Sister and brother bear prove they are the fastest runner, farthest jumper and highest climber.  Some, more and most are presented as well as under, into and over.  Papa Bear never seems to the best at anything, that is, until it’s time to take a nap!  There is plenty of white space in the layout, and the illustrations show each event.
