Publisher's Description

▼▲

Count down to the birth of baby Jesus with this beloved, best-selling read-aloud advent storybook featuring a short story for each of the days of December leading up to Christmas.

Benjamin Bear cannot wait for Christmas to come. To help the time pass more quickly, his mother tells him that every day when he opens a door on his Advent calendar she'll tell him a story about another little bear and his long, arduous journey to Bethlehem. The little bear, led by a glittering star, meets many others on his travels. His adventures, filled with acts of heroism and kindness and many small miracles, show him the path to the Christ Child. A beautiful book that teaches the true spirit of Christmas.

The classic text from Antonie Schneider is beautifully illustrated by the award-winning international artist Maja Dusikova.
