The Berenstain Bears, God Made the Seasons

Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bears 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. Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

It's the Berenstain Bears 50th Anniversary! What better way to celebrate it than with Brother and Sister Bear as they adventure through the seasons. A brand new 2012 adventure, God Made the Seasons starts with winter's sledding, then skips on through spring with robins nesting, summer with lake swimming and lemonade, and fall's colorful leaves. The grand finale has Brother and Sister looking forward to Christmas, the season of the Christ Child’s birth. The bright, bold full-page illustrations with embedded text, which is the hallmark of the Berenstain Bear series, attracts young readers' eyes and imaginations. Simple sentences and words, arranged in happy rhythms and rhymes will keep new readers engaged, delighted, and proud to say, "I can read."
