ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005, Jan and Mike continue to create the delightful Bear adventures from their family home in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.













MY REVIEW
  Another delightful book about the Berenstain Bears. I really love this book because it is a lift-the-flap book with a Christian message of finding the manger. The bear children search high and low for the missing pieces of the figures of the manger. They look behind pictures, under toys, in closets and each time they find another piece.
  I love how colorful each page is and having the Berenstain Bears and their lovable faces makes this book sweet. Every child will just cherish being read to or reading it themselves.
 I love how the Berenstain Bears give glory to God and tell what the real meaning of Christmas is. Not the gifts, food or going everywhere. Love the Berenstain Bears and you and your children will also. Highly recommended

The Berenstain Bears Give Thanks by Jan & Mike Berenstain * A Review


THE BERENSTAIN BEARS GIVE THANKS
The Living Lights Berenstain Bear series helps children learn how God wants them to live every day. The Berenstain cubs act out the first Thanksgiving---complete with costumes, props and a full Thanksgiving feast. But will Sister Bear's pet turkey play the part of dinner? The Berenstain Bears Give Thanks teaches how God provided for the pilgrims and reminds children of God's many blessings.

MY REVIEW
 I’m just delighted at these new Berenstain Bears books from Living Lights. This one of course is about Thanksgiving and is full of such wonderful colors, pictures and we all love the Berenstain Bear characters. I like the story also. Sister doesn’t want the turkey for Thanksgiving because she wants it as a pet. I can see my daughter doing the same thing. Also brother and sister put on a play for the family who comes for dinner about the pilgrims and how they wanted to be able to worship the way they wanted so they came to America.
  I like these books because they are longer, but really hold the attention of children. So if you have a child/grandchild or young friend, this book is just prefect for Thanksgiving. You will be entertained and also learn something about this special holiday. I recommend this for everyone.

MY REVIEW

Brother and Sister Bear find out that working on a farm is hard work and sometimes you have to get paid later on, just like with faith. Our reward is for later.

This book has the same lovable Berenstain Bears, with colorful pictures, excellent lessons, but with a faith lesson to get our children to think.

Brother and Sister could play all summer or get a job to make money. So they work doing all kinds of things around the farm, from feeding the animals, cleaning their pens and taking care of any chore that needs doing.

I like near the end when brother and sister don’t want to spend their money right away, because it took so long to earn it. That is another good lesson.

This book is for the age group 4-8, but I know younger and older children will love it also. I always love The Berenstain Bears series and the ones with faith and living are my favorites.

I recommend this book for all children.

MY REVIEW
I’ve always loved The Berenstain Bears and now they are even more precious with the Christian/Biblical truths. I was quite amazed and very happily so. The Berenstain Bears have always showed upstanding topics about being fair, having table manners, all things every child needs to know, but the new Living Lights books in The Berenstain Bears series is totally to cool.
Here’s the Church, Here’s the Steeple shows the bear family heading off to church. How they enjoy church and Sunday School. The book has amazing Lift-The-Flap pages which I think make a book even more special. Every child loves to see the surprise behind the flap.
I love the very colorful pages and how sweet and loving the expressions on the Bears faces always is. Reading about The Berenstain Bears always gives you a warm, loving feeling.
This book as are many of The Berenstain Bears books is for children ages 2-5. Just a wonderful age to be learning all kinds of things. This book will be a favorite for many years to come and will be a treasured book among your collection.
Yes, I highly recommend this book for your sweet child, grandchild or special friend.
I really love it myself.
