About the Berenstain Bears
Stan and Jan Berenstain published the first Berenstain Bears book in 1962, and the series has gone on to capture the hearts and minds of children across generations and across the globe. In the 50+ years since “The Big Honey Hunt,” the Bear family has grown from three to five members; the Berenstain Bears have been translated into over a dozen languages; and over 300 million books have been sold worldwide.
The Berenstain Bears have a very special place in my heart- I’ve loved them since I was very little, and now getting to share them with my own kids is so awesome. And if you’ve ever been to the Children’s Museum in Rochester, NY, you know they have a super fun Berenstain Bears exhibit that my kids absolutely love. So, when we were able to read The Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story, we were all very excited. I honestly think Easter is my favorite holiday. It means SPRING (I mean, I live in Minnesota after all), it’s a low-stress time of the year (verses Christmas- I love Christmas, but I’m usually pretty pooped by the end of it all, especially with 2 of my boys’ birthdays right around that time), and most of all it means that Jesus rose again from the grave, and that is truly the best gift of all. I love the bunnies, the candy, the gifts, and the colorful eggs- but it is so important to me that I help my kids to understand that there is a much bigger reason for Easter than what is inside their basket. The Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story is beautifully simple. Perfect for little ears and hearts. It uses a play that a group of Bears put on in Sunday School to tell the Easter story of Jesus.
