The use of the names Papa, Mama, Brother, and Sister are examples of just how simple the text is. The author does not have a strong tone or use of descriptive words. The author just goes step by step through the events of the story. The illustrator uses strong facial expressions to let the reader know how each of the bears are feeling when the text does not go on to explain their feelings. The reader can pick up from their faces that Papa stepping into help may not be a good thing. When Papa Bear comes to help brother and sister with making the kite they both have a look of worry. The illustrator strongly supports the text and even gives more detail to the story then the text does. The story ends with the Berenstain Bears family winning a hang-glider contest instead of the kite contest.


Papa forgot to let go of the kite and ended up in the air with it. Papa Bear ended up making the kite so big that the Bears needed the family car to make it fly.

Papa decides to step in to help or mostly take over the bear’s project. The brother and sister start to work on the kite they want to use for the contest when along come Papa Bear to see what they are working on. The Berenstain Bears Go Fly a Kite by Stan and Jan Berenstain is a story about a kite contest where you have to make-your-own kite.
