Berenstain Bears Friendship Blessing Collection contains five beloved Berenstain stories in one volume relating to the reader what it means to be a friend and to have friends. Friends...such a commonly used word but does it mean the hundreds of people we adults have connections to on social media? Not really. Friendship is precious and teaching your child how to dependable, honest, faithful and kind through these sweet cubs and their parents make friendship, the true and lasting kind, attainable and are strong moral character in every aspect of life.
What is not to love about Berenstain Bear books? The illustrations are bright and playful. The teaching/moral lesson is easily applicable yet not preachy. The characters have been around for years and years making them a classic in my book. I began reading these stories to my children long before they could read themselves. One might think it would stop there but my son picked up these fun to read books until he was probably entering middle school. He still won't let me get rid of a single one of them and he is 24! The only problem is that many of them are falling apart with the number of readings since they are paperback. It was an easy selection deciding what to review next when I saw this hardback collection published.
Whether looking for a gift or something to add to your own children's collection, you can't go wrong here. The only thing I find missing is a table of contents which would make it easy to flip the book open to your favorite story. Not a big deal. I am certain this hardbound collection will be one to be treasured. Contents: The Perfect Fishing Spot, Reap the Harvest, Faithful Friends, Kindness Counts, and God Made You Special, all originally published between 2009 and 2014. Thank you, Mike Berenstain, for picking up where your father left off and continuing the tradition of rich, wholesome stories for children.
I did receive this copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review and am in no way obligated to write a positive one.
