Title: The Berenstain Bears and the Easter Story

Author / Illustration: Jan & Mike Berenstain

Publisher: Zonderkidz 

It was springtime in Bear Country, and with Easter coming soon the bears were consumed with thoughts of candy. Their Sunday school teacher even expressed her favorite kind of candy, black jelly beans. One of the other Sunday school classes was putting on a play called The Easter Story, and the bears were excited to see it. The bear children were attentive as the story of Easter was acted out on the stage, with props and costumes representative of the time when Jesus was performing miracles and teaching his followers. Some people became angry with Jesus and accused him of becoming too powerful. The story continues with Jesus' arrest, crucifixion, and resurrection.

This wonderful book tells the story of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus in a language easily understandable by young children. The story tells that Easter is about more than just candy and chocolate, this story teaches us about the real meaning of Easter and who Jesus was.

The illustrations are bright and colorful, and very appealing to toddlers and little kids and true to the subject matter. This book would be perfect to read or as a read-aloud for elementary-level kids. The story itself is very enjoyable which children can remember easily.
