Our take on the The Berenstain Bears, The Very First Christmas

A Berenstain Bears picture book from the Living Lights series, written and illustrated by Mike Berenstain. Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear walk children through the Nativity: Gabriel's announcement to Mary, the visit of the three wise men, and the birth of Jesus. It is aimed at ages 4-8 and works as an Advent read-along or Christmas Eve story. Where the classic Berenstain books are secular family stories, this one is explicitly religious, so it suits families who want the holiday's biblical story told by familiar characters.
