This means one of two things: 1. She didn't get any of her own shoots. 2. The other Bears didn't put on slippers when they walked into Panda Bear house. (CaliStunna - the Berenstein Bears family didn't wear shoes - they're bears.) It must have been a million years since I saw this book, but my memory is pretty ridic. I'm just glad the Boy Panda Bear was ill-nasty at soccer, though I think it would've been funny if they drew him playing ping poing instead.

Brings back memories of elementary school, getting the Weekly Reader and Scholastic Book club. I came across an interview on NPR with Judy Blume and her talking about "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing." Panda Bears as Chinese neighbors - makes sense to me in the context of the Berenstain Bears. I wonder what stereotypes the book perpetuated...? Are they Kung Fu Pandas? Berenstain Bears – damn, I remember those books.
