The Living Lights Series
If you haven't seen our feature article on Mike Berenstain in the September 2009 issue of ParentLife, be sure to check it out! Mike Berenstain is helping carry on the legacy his parents, Stan and Jan Berenstain, started over 40 years ago with the Berenstain Bears® book series. (Did you know that the characters in the books are based on members of the Berenstain family?)
Many of us have fond memories of growing up reading Berenstain books or reading them to our children. And even though Stan died in 2005, today's children can still experience the thrill of reading new Berenstain Bears books. Mike is actually doing most of the writing, while Mike and his mom share the illustrating. These days, the Berenstain Bears books are taking on even more value-based themes in their new series — Living Lights (published by Zonderkidz™). We listed several books in the new series in our September article, but since that time, there are even more great Living Lights books to choose from.
The Berenstain Bears Love Their Neighbors (May 2009)
The Berenstain Bears Play a Good Game (May 2009)
The Berenstain Bears Give Thanks (August 2009)
The Berenstain Bears Faithful Friends (August 2009)
The Berenstain Bears' Christmas Tree (October 2009)
And be on the lookout for even more coming out in February 2010! For more information, visit www.zonderkidz.com. Stop by the official Berenstain Bears Web site too — www.berenstainbears.com.

We haven't read any of the new books, but my kids really enjoy the ones we have. We enjoy the cartoon based on the books too.
