For Berenstain Bears lovers everywhere comes a storybook
Bible for toddlers. The thick-covered The Berenstain Bears Storybook Bible for
Little Ones, by Jan and Mike Berenstain, is a sturdy board book that highlights eight stories from the
Bible: Creation, Noah’s Ark, David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lion’s Den, The
Birth of Jesus, The Good Samaritan, Palm Sunday, and the Resurrection. In true bear fashion, all the characters are portrayed as bears, including
Jesus.
What I Like: I love the Berenstain Bears, so of course this book appeals to me.
Seeing Biblical characters in bear-form is interesting.
What I Dislike: For me, there is a disconnect between the format and the text. The text is geared for preschoolers through age 8, but boardbooks are typically intended for the toddler age group. In addition, some of the stories had major gaps; however,
parents willing to expand on the story can easily fill in the missing details.
Overall Rating: Very Good
Age Appeal: ages 4-8
