I LOVE omnibus storybooks and ever since I heard the Berenstain Bears were doing 3-in-1 selections I have wanted to get my hands on one. [b:The Berenstain Bears Treat Others Kindly 15857824 The Berenstain Bears Treat Others Kindly (3 Books In 1) Jan Berenstain http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1350414061s/15857824.jpg 21607303] is a selection of three of the Christian Living Lights series with morals, values and direction back to God with a verse of scripture. Each one teaches a lesson. [b:The Berenstain Bears and the Forgiving Tree 9602416 The Berenstain Bears and the Forgiving Tree Jan Berenstain http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1345730135s/9602416.jpg 14489543]I remember from my youth a book where Brother and Sister were fighting and marked off the tree house by sides so being able to revisit that in a book for my children's generation is great.

It is a good lesson to watch and learn from Brother and Fred's mistakes to try to avoid making the same on your own. [b:The Berenstain Bears' Gossip Gang 10606797 The Berenstain Bears' Gossip Gang Jan Berenstain http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1355087966s/10606797.jpg 15514746]Living in a culture where sin is second nature teaching our children how to act kindly and put others first is not always easy especially when it seems everyone might have picked sides against you.

[b:The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect 11988805 The Berenstain Bears Show Some Respect Jan Berenstain http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1351738904s/11988805.jpg 16952602] What an absolutely valuable lesson! (for the Mama and Papa's as well as kiddos...) The Berenstain Bears have always been a favorite staple of my bookshelves for as long as I can remember, but since they started the Living Lights series the moral lessons have gotten better and better and even incorporate scripture. What could be better to encourage my girls! Here and there I have found a few manners books, some I really find annoying, but others are quite cute and portray a lesson quite well. Each of these provides a great story that I would be glad to read again for building character. The hardcover omnibus is great quality and only slightly larger than the original Berenstain Bear books.
