Excellent Read!

This is one of my new favorite reads for the Christmas season (or anytime, really)! IT has a sweet, warm message. I love finding books with a true Christian theme. Santa Clause and Frosty are great, and have a place in our traditions, but it's also very important to keep a focus on the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place. I have read this book to 4 and 5-year-olds, who enjoyed it very much. We read it two or three times in one week! They loved it each time, and I loved reinforcing the wonderful spirit of the book. I HIGHLY recommend this for children ages 3-12 (and the adults who love them)!

Wonderful Christmas Gift

"Who 'vented Christmas? Was it Santa?" This book answers a child's questions with tenderness as a mother bear and her cub go looking for the giver of Christmas--not Santa, but God. There is no Santa bashing, however, when Mama says, "Santa Claus reminds us about many good things..." The mother and child find God in the natural world and in the hearts of people. Illustrated beautifully, this book is sure to become a Christmas classic.

Great for little ones about the true meaning of X-mas without spoiling "santa"

Great book about the true meaning of Christmas. Lots of books do that, however, this one actual gives a good reason for Santa - other than "he's not real". Regardless of whether Santa is part your Christmas celebration, kids always hear about it. Illustrations are beautifully done. My 3 year-old loves this "bear book".

Share Jesus with Your Kids

This is a wonderful story about how Mama Bear helps Little Cub find God and learn how He gave Christmas to the world. Beautiful illustrations and charming dialogue! Share this book with your children to show them how God gave Christmas and Jesus to them!

Wonderful story!!!

I gave this to my son who is 2.5 years old and he LOVES it! He has the book memorized now because he wants to read it every night. It is good to have a story book that takes the focus off of the commerial Christmas.
