About the Author

Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear 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, Jan and Mike continue to create the delightful Bear adventures from their family home in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country. SPANISH BIO: Stan y Jan Berenstain presentaron el primer libro de los Osos Berenstain en 1962. Mike Berenstain crecio viendo a sus padres trabajar juntos, dibujando y escribiendo acerca de estos osos adorables. Finalmente, el empezo a dibujar y a escribir acerca de ellos tambien. Aunque Stan murio en el 2005, Jan y Mike continuan creando las encantadoras aventuras de estos osos desde su hogar en Pennsylvania, en un area que se parece mucho a la asoleada carretera sin pavimento sumergida en el pais de los osos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny book, October 17, 2011

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Learn to Share (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights) (Kindle Edition)

This is one of the Berenstain Bears spiritual "Living Lights" titles. The religious content of the book, by the way, is clearly stated on the back cover. I think this is a simple, fun, entertaining book on a helpful and basic subject--sharing--reinforced with religious references. In looking at the other reviews, it is interesting to note how bigoted some people are against books with Christian or, perhaps, any religious content.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concept Gets a Little Tied Up in the Rhyming, October 31, 2010

By 

Momma C - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Learn to Share (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights) (Hardcover)

Sharing is a tough concept for all people, not just children. In The Berenstain Bears Learn to Share, Sister Bear learns the importance of sharing. Playing by yourself can be fun but sharing and playing with others is much better. She learns that sharing is showing love the way Jesus wants us to.

Momma C's Thoughts: Using the typical rhyming lines, this book explores the importance of sharing. The illustrations are the usual clear and fun drawings that we are used to from Berenstain Bear books. While there is nothing inherently wrong with this book, it seems the rhyming almost overrules the character education the authors are trying to explain. Some great points but it needs some explanation and discussion for the concept to be grasped.

Thank you to Zonderkidz for giving me the opportunity to review this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Despicable religious propaganda posing as a children's book, August 8, 2011

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Learn to Share (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights) (Hardcover)

This is not one of the classic Berenstain Bear books. It purports to be about sharing but is really Christian propaganda in disguise. My Jewish mother certainly would not have purchased this book as a gift for my religiously unaffiliated nephew had this book was honestly advertised. Very disappointed in this purchase.
