A Wild Card post includes a brief bio of the author and a full chapter from each book toured. The reason it is called a FIRST Wild Card Tour is that you never know if the book will be fiction, non~fiction, for young, or for old...or for somewhere in between! Enjoy your free peek into the book!

Kid's Korner: The Berenstain Bears and the Gift of Courage (Book Review)

Shared by Kristi

Title: The Berenstain Bears and the Gift of Courage
Authors: Mike Berenstain and Jan Berenstain
Publisher: Zondervan/ZonderKidz

About the book: Brother and Sister Bear wonder if they can be as brave as David when he fought Goliath. They find out when they face Too-Tall Grizzly and his gang. In The Berenstain Bears and the Gift of Courage, the bus learn where real courage comes from.

My thoughts: What's not to like about the Berenstain Bears? Another good story that teaches about having faith in God and standing up for what is right. Great illustrations with a little humor even thrown in at the end.

Kid's Korner: The Berenstain Bears and a Job Well Done (Book Review)

Shared by Kristi

Title: The Berenstain Bears and a Job Well Done
Authors: Jan and Mike Berenstain
Publisher: Zonderkidz

My thoughts: It is spring time and time for spring cleaning. The whole family has chores to do, but what happens when Brother, Sister, and Honey discover spiders where they are supposed to clean? A good lesson about what the Bible says about the joy of work. Also teaches how everyone in the family has chores to do before they can play.
