I must be honest and say that Berenstain Bears are special books in our household. My children first wanted them read to them on a regular basis and then continued to read into their middle school years because they loved them so much so I order this primarily for nostalgia sake. I wasn't disappointed.
The Berenstain Bears Bedtime Devotional by Mike Berenstain contains 90 devotionals broken down into 10 different topics, including but not limited to being forgiving, being kind and helpful to others, and having faith. Each devotional contains a brief scripture verse perfect for memorization, a short story based on the scripture then an encouragement/application(something your little cub can ponder or do prior to shutting their eyes for the night) and prayer. Also included with each is a colorful Berenstain Bear illustration we have come to know and love. A blue satin attached bookmark holds your place so you know just where to turn tomorrow.
The size of the hardback book is perfect for young children from ages three to eight or so. I love the fact that it is hardback, making it more durable to be enjoyed for several children or generations. I am so thankful Mike Berenstain has carried on the work of his parents.
If your child loves the Berstains or hasn't yet been introduced to them, this volume of devotionals will make a wonderful addition to your collection. Brief enough to be read in less than 3 minutes but meaty enough to make an impression on the heart of your child.
Two thumbs up to Mike Berenstain and Zonderkidz. I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
