Review/Giveaway: The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule
You didn't think we were going to leave you with no giveaways this week, did you? Thanks to ZonderKidz, we've got two copies of this Berenstain Bear book to share with two of YOU!
The Berenstain Bears and the Golden Rule, by Stan & Jan Berenstain with Mike Berenstain, is a great practical application story of the Golden Rule (Matthew 7:12) geared towards the ages of 4-7. Sister Bear receives a beautiful gold locket with the Golden Rule inside for her birthday. When a new bear shows up at school, Sister Bear remembers what it was like to be left out. The Golden Rule helps her decide what to do when no one else wants to befriend the new girl.
Two-year-old Esmé gives this book a thumbs-up! The lesson and the quantity of words are just a bit too advanced, in my opinion, for her to follow, but she loves the bears, enjoys the pictures, and has asked for me to read this a number of times. And I'm constantly amazed at the things she picks up on and comes up with, so I'm sure she'll amaze me with her application of the Golden Rule one of these days. (That, or ask me for her own gold locket!)
And of course, I always love books with valuable lessons that my kid enjoys!
You can purchase this book through Zondervan for $3.99. Or check out ZonderKidz for more kids' books with spiritual and life lessons.

I've always loved the Berenstain bears and M already has a couple of their books. We have actually talked about the Golden Rule (although I didn't call it that) and he is totally confused about "if I hit someone why does that mean I want them to hit me?" Yep, that's what he got out of our little talk and those were his exact words. :) He just can't seem to get past that point, lol. I would love to win this book, but I think we'll be checking it out at the library even if we don't! Thanks for the review!
I'd love to win this book! The Golden Rule is the most important thing I teach my children.
We have several BBears books but not this one and I think this would be a wonderful addition to our collection (I might just pick it up at the library if we don't win)
Thanks

I love/loved the Berenstain Bears and look forward to when my son can really enjoy them with me (mine's not quite 2). Thanks for the give away!
My kids have always been fans of this series
Living abroad means I'm always keen to get ahold of English books! And as a kid I loved the B.Bears. I had a few that my kids now read (new baby, when Sister was born, and one about the messy room and another about dinosaurs). My son really enjoys them, so I'd love to add another to the collection!
Great book! Good for grown up sometimes too. = ) Thanks for the opportunity. spiffynpink at sbcglobal dot come

My three kids love the Berenstain Bears and so do I. It is completely non-offensive, and I never have to worry that my kids might be picking up words or phrases that I might find objectionable.
