Review:

If you don't know already know by now, I've been a fan of The Berenstain Bears since I was a little kid, which is one of the reasons why I've reviewed several of the recent titles from the series. Since 2008 and prior to death of Jan Berenstain, the new books were published by Zondervan, with one little change - all the stories now have a Christian theme. Back in 2013, The Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible was released. Now a smaller version for younger readers has been released, titled The Berenstain Bears' Storybook Bible For Little Ones.

While Papa, Brother, Sister and Honey Bear are featured on the cover, they don't have anything to do with the book. Instead the authors retold the biblical stories of The Creation (Genesis 1), David Meets Goliath (1 Samuel 17), Daniel in the Lion's Den (Daniel 6), The Birth of Jesus (Luke 1), The Good Neighbor (Luke 10), Jesus in Jerusalem (Matthew 20) and He is Risen! (Matthew 28) with words and illustrations in the style of The Berenstain Bears' world.

This is a cute little book for young readers and a great way to introduce the Bible to them. All the illustrations are beautiful. Overall, The Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible For Little Ones is an adorable novel that both children and parents will enjoy reading together. I plan on giving my copy to my little cousins to read.

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, and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from the family home and studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.
