The Berenstain Bears and A Job Well Done

Zonderkidz (April 9, 2010)

***Special thanks to Krista Ocier of Zondervan for sending me a review copy.***


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. Mike is married to Andrea, and they have three children. They live in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks a lot like Bear Country.

My Review:
This is a sweet story that I would recommend for anyone who's a young child or a kid at heart. With it's easy to read print and colorful illustrations of that classic bear family it's hard not to like this book. The classic Berenstain stories that we grew up with are still going strong and if this book is any indication they will be enjoyed for years to come. My cousins, Michael and Matthew, go nuts for these stories, unfortunately I forgot to give them this book when they last came to visit but I'm sure that they will love it as will most 4-7 year olds.

    We LOVE the Berenstain Bear books! We used to read them out loud, making funny voices for the different bear characters. :)
