Our take on the The Berenstain Bears Patience, Please

A 2019 Berenstain Bears paperback written and illustrated by Mike Berenstain, part of the Living Lights line from Zondervan. The story follows the cubs as they learn to wait for what they want, with the series' familiar family setting and gentle moral lesson. It suits families reading aloud to preschoolers and early readers ages 3 to 6 who already know the characters. Compared with older Stan and Jan Berenstain titles, the art and tone are softer and the message is more openly values-driven, which some parents prefer and others find preachy.
