What is The Berenstain Bears Say Please and Thank You about?

Brother and Sister Bear are constantly fussing and feuding, and no one in the Bear family seems able to get along. When Gran arrives with a special gift, the cubs discover that good manners can make a big difference. With reminders to say “please”, “thank you”, “excuse me” and “I’m sorry”, the family learns how polite words show respect, kindness and appreciation. A gentle, humorous story about family arguments and the everyday magic of thoughtful behaviour.
