I didn't realize that Stan and Jan Berenstain's son, Mike Berenstain, continues to write The Berenstain Bear series. Nor did I realize that the Living Lights Berenstain Bear books have a Christian series.
We were excited to review Keep the Faith and immediately sat down to read it together.
The ages on the back are 4-8 years old but I think it goes it a little deep for such a young age. Joe, age 5, seemed confused with the idea of the possibility that God doesn't exist. It brought up a good discussion topic but he didn't quite "get" the point of the book.
However, Becca at age 10, said she really enjoyed the book and was able to discuss what we learned.
I wouldn't call this a "feel good story for bedtime" because I think it will raise questions that the kids will want to discuss afterwards but I do think it's a book that children would enjoy reading and talking about with their parents.
Disclaimer: This book was given to us by BookLook in exchange for my honest review.
I loved Berenstein bear books as a kid and my kids love them now, too :)
