Song of the Week:

“In 2007, Chad King was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and his doctors told him that he could be paralyzed within 7 years. Nine years later he is treating his MS with a holistic/nutrition-based regimen, and he feels better than ever. This song is his mantra.”-A Great Big World’s “Won’t Stop Running”

Book Review / Gift Guide:

Care, Share, Do You Dare?

IMG_3633

The Berenstain Bears are back in this collection of five books:
1. “Jobs Around Town”
2. “Get Involved”
3. “Love their Neighbours”
4. “Gossip Gang”
5. “And The Biggest Brag”

Each story in the collection touches upon a topic and teaches an important life lesson that is valuable for both children and adults alike. The stories also provide an opportunity for further discussion and activities pertaining to each topic/life lesson (the authors provide relevant discussion questions/activities at the back of the book), which is a bonus tool for parents and educators.

The treasury itself comes bound as a hardcover book, which is always a nice touch. Given that most Berestain Bears books range from $3-$4 per paperback, with this treasury, you are able to get 5 books for the price of two!

All in all, this Berenstain Bears collection is cute, character building, and encourages all of us to be people who  care…and share!

The illustrations are beautiful and wonderfully detailed. 5/5
The stories are simple yet each teach a significant lesson/value. 4/5
The questions/activities included in the book. 5/5
Value for the book. 5/5
