ABOUT THE AUTHORS:



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. Mike is married to Andrea, and they have three children. They live in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks a lot like Bear Country.

REVIEW:
I like the new and improved Berenstain Bears series (Living Lights) by Jan and Mike Berenstain (son of Stan and Jan). "Living Lights Berenstain Bear books help children learn how God wants them to live every day." (from the back cover) In this book, Brother Bear and Sister Bear learned from the story of David and Goliath that even though David was small, he was very brave because he knew God was on his side and was watching over him. Later on when they face Too-Tall Grizzly and his gang, they display courage and they know that God was watching over them. At the end of the book, you will find questions for discussion and fun activities for kids to do. I think this new series is really cool. Check it out!
