My Thoughts:

Okay, do I REALLY need to say anything?  It's The Berenstain Bears, for reading's sake!  But, since telling you about books and why I love them is why I do, I will say a few things about a book I already know will be on children's bookshelves everywhere.

A quality padded cover. colorful illustrations, and a multitude of the best of the Berenstain stories are just the beginning of what's to love.  Stories that tell little ones about God's love, being forgiving, staying away from gossip, and even more fill the pages.

Best of all, each story is about 5 minutes long, which is about the attention span of this age group! And, if not and you have a reader like I do, then "The Berenstain Bears 5 Minute Inspirational Stories" will delight for as much reading time as your little one desires.  And you can read them again and again.

In fact, my grandson's daddy used to read The Berenstain Bears books when he was little, and now his son loves them as well.  Nothing better than a multi-generational storybook!  My thanks to my friends at Zonderkidz for my complimentary copy (which is going to my grandson asap!) with no services or obligations promised in return.
