Join Mama, Papa, Brother, sisters and Honey as they go to services, have an Easter treasure hunt, and learn what Easter is all about.

My thoughts: THE BERENSTAIN BEARS' EASTER SUNDAY is an adorable read. My youngest daughter is a huge fan of The Berenstain Bears and she couldn't wait to read this book. She said it was really good and she totally loved it. I liked how they empathized the real reason Christians celebrate Easter and worked in why people celebrate Easter bunnies and Easter eggs in addition and how they really are two different things. It was an explanation my youngest daughter understood and related to. I highly recommend this book - a good addition to your favorite child's Easter basket. Also good for homeschool libraries, Christian school libraries, Christian daycares, church libraries and more.  5 stars
