Our take on the The Berenstain Bears' Merry Christmas (Berenstain Bears)

A 2-in-1 paperback picture book that pairs two Berenstain Bears Christmas stories: The Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze and Meet Santa Bear. Both are read-along friendly, with the series' familiar rhyming-free but simple prose and busy Bear Country illustrations. The first story takes on collector fads and want-more culture; the second handles wish lists and modest expectations before meeting Santa Bear. It suits families already reading the series and parents who want a holiday book with a light moral, though shoppers wanting a single longer story or a board-book format should look elsewhere.

  • Two separate stories rather than one continuous narrative
  • Paperback binding is less durable for very young hands

What reviewers say

Readers of the series treat this as a solid holiday pairing, valuing the two stories and the lessons they carry. The toy-craze story draws the most comment, both for its message and for feeling less Christmas-focused than the Santa story.

About the The Berenstain Bears' Merry Christmas (Berenstain Bears)

The Berenstain Bears' Merry Christmas is a 2-in-1 paperback picture book that collects two Berenstain Bears Classics stories set at Christmas in Bear Country. The stories are The Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze and Meet Santa Bear.

In The Mad, Mad, Mad Toy Craze, Brother and Sister get caught up in a Beary Bubby collecting craze, and Papa joins in too. In the end, they learn that following the fad of the moment isn't always worth it and that other things matter more than having more and more.

In Meet Santa Bear, Brother and Sister think about their wish lists for Santa as Christmas approaches. When Sister's list gets too long, Brother suggests she think small so Santa Bear will know her intentions are nice, not naughty.
