• Is perfect for parents and grandparents looking for a Bible-based, read aloud story that encourages faith in Jesus
• Helps instill a love of reading in children and grandchildren
• Features beloved Christmas carols like “Good King Wenceslas” and “Jingle Bells”
• Features the hand-drawn artwork of Mike Berenstain, the son of the creators of The Berenstain Bears, Stan and Jan Berenstain 
• Continues in the much-loved footsteps of Stan and Jan Berenstain in the Berenstain Bears series of books, which is approaching its 60th Anniversary
• Is part of one of the bestselling children’s book series ever created, with more than 250 books published and nearly 300 million copies sold to date

My thoughts:   THE BERENSTAIN BEARS GO CHRISTMAS CAROLING is a fun look at Christmas celebrations that families might engage in--including decorating, sleigh rides, caroling, and church--and includes a nice discussion of some of the old-fashioned terms included in the older carols.

My teenage daughter, a huge fan of The Berenstain Bears, both enjoyed reading the book and wanted to keep it for future family enjoyment.  This is a great read for children new to The Berenstain Bears and as part of a collection for long time fans.

It’s so hard to fall asleep on Christmas Eve! Lucky for Cole and his sister, Rose, the Nighty Nights have a special Christmas song to have them dreaming and sleeping in no time. This snuggly story is the one parents and grandparents turn to when their little ones are having trouble falling sleep.

Merry Christmas, Nighty Night follows the familiar rhythm of the classic Clement Moore poem “The Night Before Christmas” to tell this gentle, musical, heartwarming story that captures the wonder of Christmas Eve while helping little ones settle in for a cozy “Silent Night.”

This cute (and sleepy) adventure leads Cole and Rose to discover that when you’re having trouble falling asleep, a Christmas lullaby might just do the trick.

Founded by Michael W. Smith, Nurturing StepsTM is an infant and toddler series of children’s music and books with a simple mission to enliven a child’s journey with hope and faith through music and storytelling.

On the night before Christmas, Cole asked from his bed,
“May I wait by the tree for my presents instead?”“No, Cole,” his mom answered, as she handed him Bear.Then she kissed him goodnight and helped him say prayers.

Merry Christmas, Nighty Night:

• Is created by Grammy winner Michael W. Smith, who has sold over 15 million albums with 32 number one hits, and VeggieTales co-creator Mike Nawrocki and the co-creator of VeggieTales, Mike Nawrocki
• Is a cute holiday padded board book that sparkles with glitter and will help little ones settle in for a cozy night’s sleep
• Is the perfect stocking stuffer or Christmas gift for the little sugarplum in your life

My thoughts:  MERRY CHRISTMAS NIGHTY  NIGHT  is an absolutely adorable children's book for your favorite little  one.  I absolutely loved the nighty night band! So unique!  This would  be an absolutely awesome gift for Christmas Eve to read and snuggle with at bedtime. Your favorite child will be dreaming of   piano-playing pups and singing teddy bears.  

I loved this book!   Highly recommended.  Plus words to a well-known Christmas song are  included so you can sing with or to the child.
