The Berenstain Bears Faith Gets Us Through

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.

Happy 50th Anniversary, Berenstain Bears! Scouts Papa, Brother, Sister, and Fred Bear help celebrate this special year in a brand new Living Lights Series adventure, Faith Gets Us Through. With those delightful, eye-catching, full-page illustrations and simple, exciting words, both of which we recognize as inimitably Berenstain, all readers happily join in the fun. Papa Bear knows all about caves, but it is a good thing Scout Fred knows the verse, "The Lord is my light and my salvation - whom shall I fear?" because they are going to meet some eye-popping adventures in Spooky Cave as they earn their Cave Adventure Merit Badges.

Berenstain Bears have delighted people of all ages for decades. I read them to my own children; now I am reading them to my children’s children. They delight everybody. As with all of the I Can Read Series for beginning readers, this new adventure, Faith Gets Us Through, is just right for today's new readers, engaging their eyes, minds, memories, and imaginations. More advanced readers, child through adult, will enjoy introducing the Berenstain Bears to their younger cohorts via this book. - Donna Eggett, www.ChrsitianBookPreviews.com
