My Thoughts:
The Berenstain Bears’ Harvest Festival reminds us of what a wonderful season autumn
is. I liked how the family enjoyed the outdoors – the sights and smells - as
they walked to Farmer Ben’s for the Harvest Festival.
At the Harvest
Festival put on by the Chapel in the Woods they get to experience all the good
things that come at harvest time. They also get to see many of the animals and
enjoy many of the sights on a farm. The
Berenstain Bears’ Harvest Festival teaches children a little bit about the
diversity of things that are grown on a farm.
I liked that the
book ended with a prayer thanking God for all the good things we have received.
I think that sometimes we forget that all of these things are blessings from
Him that we should be thankful for.
The questions on the
inside of the back cover are great for helping children to focus in on some of
educational points in the book. The activities at the bottom are suggestions
for parents and children to extend the educational experience a little further.
I think these two suggestions were simple and easily accomplished in most
communities and would be fun.
I think that The Berenstain Bears’ Harvest Festival
is an excellent addition to the Berenstain Bears series of books. I would
highly recommend it. I have it 5 stars out of 5.
Thank you to the
publishers for providing the book via BookLook Bloggers in exchange for a fair
and honest review. A positive opinion was not required. All thought are my own.
