My Review:

It has been awhile since I reviewed a Berenstain Bear book! I know you already know I love them! I love that they incorporate such good values!

The first book, "Play a Fair Game" did not disappoint. Well, actually the adults in it were disappointing! I could relate as a parent going to a kids sporting event to see parents acting out in such a manner that it took away the fun for the kids. I imagine it happens often. I love how the older lady who taught Sunday school to both the coaches ran onto the field to get them to settle down. Sportsmanship was a big value taught in this book. It is a book that actually should be a good reminder for adults as well!

The second story, "Respect Each Other" was another good one. I think we sometimes forget that respecting our elders is important. This story is a good reminder to not be selfish with an agenda but seek some of the elders to see what ideas they have. It is a great story with the bears!

The third story is a fun one called, "Get the Job Done." It is funny to see how spiders prevent the Bears from finishing a task... I suppose its because I could relate to it. HAHAHAH! With a spider hanging out where they were suppose to clean they move on to fun things instead of asking for help because of the spider! The Cubs learn a lesson that its okay to ask for help because the tasks need to get completed.

Thanks Zondervan for sending me that book for free in exchange for a review! Did you know that Zondervan has lots of freebies on their website? They have activity guides, and teaching help for lots of their kid stories! This is a must resource for summer time! Here is the link: https://www.zonderkidz.com/resources/freebies/

"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.

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...
