The Berenstain Bears- "Help the Homeless" Review

About Help the Homeless: 
Brother and Sister Bear are part of the Good Deed Scouts and Widow McBear wants to open a homeless shelter so she recruits the Scouts for help.  They find a house that that is abandoned on "Spook Hill" that needs a lot of work.  
The young Scouts are eager to get to work but then fear sets in on them.  Fears of ghosts, goblins, and monsters hiding in the old abandoned house.  With some courage the Scouts are able to get the shelter ready.  They also recruit help from Homeless Tom.  The lesson that the Scouts learned is how important it is to help those in need.  


My Review:
One thing I want to instill in my children is always being considerate of others and helping people in need.  The story can coincide with the Bible Story, the good Samaritan.  There are going to be times where fear strikes us but it was good to see the Scouts overcome it!  There is also team work that the story shoes which is always nice to show teamwork or unity.  :)  I believe every young child should read this to help remind them how important it is to help others!  This is also an "I Can Read" story so it is a great book for beginner readers.  


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.  Since the late 80's, he has been very much involved as a writer and illustrator with his family's creation, the Berenstain Bears.  he continued to work with his mother, Jan, creating new books, writing and illustrating up until her death this year.  The antics and activities of Mike's three children have provided inspiration for many Berenstain Bears Books over the years.  Though Stan  and Jan passed away in 2005 and 2012, respectively, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures form their studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Timeless Truth Bible - Blogger Review #timelesstruths #biblegram #bible #Christianbookstagram

About this Bible: The Christian faith is founded upon an unchanging and unceasing confession: that “Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11). This is the confession upon which all our hope, and all our joy, rests. The  Timeless Truths Bible  will encourage you in this truth through the wisdom of those who came before us with: Devotional notes and commentary from trusted theologians and pastors from the second century up to the twentieth to stir your affections. Ancient creeds and confessions of the faith to grow your understanding of what we believe—and have always believed. Artwork made throughout the history of Christianity to deepen your worship of God. My Review: I have a full house often being a pastor and now that we have a bonus daughter with us she is the blessed one to receive this Bible.  She has been desiring a bible to take notes in so when she saw margins she was pretty excited.  Then with the leather she was more exci...
