Understanding the purpose of gift giving is a tough concept for children young and old (and many adults). Brother and Sister Bear receive money from their grandparents. They use this money to purchase gifts for others. Then each quietly plot how they can purchase small gifts to allow themselves to keep as much money as possible. After being in a church Christmas program, they understand that the reason why we give gifts is because at the First Christmas Jesus was our gift from God. The shepherds and wisemen also brought gifts to the Baby King. Afterwards the Bear Siblings give the rest of their money to the poor. Momma C's Thoughts: This is a longer than usual Berenstain Bear book. At 38 pages, this book is geared toward older children (ages 4-8).

But they were morals that came out during the story, or they were stories that illustrated a moral; I'm thinking Berenstain Bears and The Truth. Whereas that book illustrated that lying was wrong, by showing that it undermined a parent's trust in her kids (err, cubs), and that Mama Bear was sadder about the lying than the broken lamp, Jan and Mike's new series are in your face efforts to "spread the word." (They are actually now published by a Christian book company.) This book, for example, is comprised primarily of the classic Christmas story, and sister and brother learn the joy of giving is based...

It's pretty lengthy and it's just not like all the classic books from Stan and his wife. Usually we have to read books over and over again, but this one wasn't read as often. |
