5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful story!, February 26, 2002

By	A. Stephens "rangies" (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a beautiful way of explaining where baby comes from without giving an adult answer. The simple message that your child was a gift from God sums it up, and in a sweet story. The illustrations are soothing, and the story is a good bedtime read.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a sweet, sweet story, June 3, 2002

By	"bateslj" (FL, USA) - See all my reviews

My husband and I love to read this book to our daughter who is 6 months old (we have read it to her since she was in my belly) It is such a sweet story about a mommy bear and a baby girl bear. The story tells the baby what a blessing she is to her mommy and daddy and how God had given her to them.

This is the favorite of all of the children's books I have read to my baby so far!!! Every time I read it, I get a little teary eyed. The story line and illustrations are equally beautiful! It will be one of the signature Baby Shower gifts I will be giving to all of my new pregnant friends!
