The Berenstain Bears and the Summer Job

The Berenstain Bears are nostalgic silver (they get 2nd place because there aren’t as many memes). I especially like ...and the Summer Job because the lessons are so timeless: cause and effect can sometimes be muddy; one must be patient and able to deal with uncertainty; and the joy of a job well done can be a reward in itself.

Even if your kids are too young to be thinking about summer jobs yet (although check those child-labor laws, because they vary by state…), it’s never too early to plant the seeds of a solid work ethic.
