The Berenstain bears' Christmas tree

After being completely delighted with the HarperCollins' [b:The Berenstain Bears' Old-Fashioned Christmas 13554446 The Berenstain Bears' Old-Fashioned Christmas Jan Berenstain http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349386723s/13554446.jpg 19124293] las year I started to look into other “big” Berenstain Bears books. Most of my experience from my own youth stuck with the 8x8 early readers. I was excited and intrigued to discover an older Christian Christmas themed big book from Zondervan and couldn't wait to get my hands on it. Now I might be wrong, but I believe I saw this book was originally released in the secular market in 1980 through Random House and then later after some edits and additions through the Christian market and Zondervan. I am one of those persons who does love the Christian Living Lights series and I enjoyed this one and it's message on the importance of giving. I was surprised as being a Christian Christmas storybook I expected more mention of Jesus' birth, but reading the publishing history explains that a bit I think. However I think this is an excellent read for morals and values. - this is a non-jacketed hardcover. Thanks to Zondervan for providing a copy for review. posted: http://creativemadnessmama.com/blog/2013/07/01/the-berenstain-bears-christmas-tree/
