School is just around the corner here in my hometown. Teachers go back to work next Monday! It seems the summer gets shorter and shorter every year. In the newest book in Berenstain Bear Living Lights series, the Bear family is facing excitement and anxiety over the start of school. Honey is starting nursery school and Brother and Sister face challenges in their school work. New opportunities, new surroundings, new adventures! And isn’t that how it is for all children during the first weeks of school? I love that The Berenstain Bears School Time Blessings addresses all of that and reminds both parents and children that God is always ready and able to help. Several Bible verses about God that reiterate that point are included in this book. Following the story, there are discussion questions and activities to make real life school challenges more manageable and fun! A great choice for back to school reading for preschoolers and elementary aged kids!

Highly Recommended.

Audience: preschool through elementary aged children.

A great read for young children. I feel the children can relate well to the bears and how they act in the book. ( )
