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

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)

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.

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.
