The Berenstain Bears' Harvest Festival, by Mike Berenstain, is a sweet little anecdote about everyone's favorite family from Bear Country. It is one of the recent Berenstain Bears faith stories, written by the son of the series creators.
Papa, Mama, and the cubs take a break from their fall work to attend a harvest festival at the local church. While there, they learn about their many blessings, and they participate in a prayer of thanksgiving.
It is a cute little book, although it lacks the plotline of the originals that is so riveting to young readers. There is no problem or resolution. It's just a tale of thanksgiving and a participation in a church event. The illustrations aren't as vibrant as the originals, either. However, it's a nice little addition to a church or home library that aims to instill faith in its youngsters.
Disclaimer: I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review.
