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. Mike is married to Andrea, and they have three children. They live in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks a lot like Bear Country.

My Thoughts:
Papa Bear never knew what effects his Bible story time would ultimately have on Sister and Brother bear. The two bear cubs had to draw on the Bible wisdom as they walked to school the very next day and came face to face with some not-very-nice bear cubs! Brother and Sister cubs were very brave in the face of danger, because they stood up for what was right. Papa Bear's faithfulness to teach his cubs lessons from the Bible paid off in a mighty way!

The Berenstain bears continue to enchant me, and I am so incredibly happy to see this dear bear family teaching kids lessons from the Bible! I can't recommend this book highly enough!!
