Religious content unexpected

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 17, 2021

Pretty disappointed in all the religious stuff. I'm not against religion, but it's up to my kid to decide when she's old enough to understand and make her own decision. I was not prepared for this and it's never been an issue with berenstain bears before.

The story was good and the god stuff is unecessary.

It was good for a 4 year old.

Had no idea this book had such a strong religious message. It's going into the donation bin. Disappointed.

This one made me tear up. I read some reviews where people did not understand the story.
The message is about patience which it demonstrates by the cubs having to wait for their plants to grow.
Some reviewers didn't understand the point of Honey bear's story. Her faith that God would grow her work was so pure and childlike that she had a marvellous result. Brother and sister worked so hard, they also got results, but their faith wasn't a strong as little honey. This is a message about faith versus works. AS WELL AS PATIENCE as they all have to wait to see their plants grow!

We used to watch the Berenstein bears as kids and reading their books has been interesting as I never realize that they make reference to God in their books

Didn't know it was a religious book

The lesson for the book was good overall, but I wasn't really expecting so much of a religious story. I wish they would have given a hint that it wasn't the typical barenstain bears book, or maybe I should've looked harder for one

Heads up: these books are now faith-based

Ordered this without looking into it as I used to love Berenstain Bears as a kid. Once the son took over writing them in the 2000s, they've moved under a religious imprint of the publisher and speak directly about the Bible, God, and religion. Was not expecting this and isn't really our cup of tea. I don't want to give the book a bad rating for this reason, but just a warning to those looking at reviews.

Was unaware until purchasing this book that Berenstain Bears had a selection of 'religious' books.

Love the Berenstain Bears books, love the lessons they pass on, but it is not my place to teach religion to our grandchildren or to the children in daycare so this book went to our local thrift shop. Now that I know how to identify the difference it will be no problem to purchase other Berenstain Bear books that teach without the religious references.

Multiple references to God and the Bible

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on June 16, 2020

I loved Berenstain bears growing up but I don’t remember such overt references to God and the Bible. I loved the idea of this book teaching patience through gardening but on multiple pages it speaks specifically and directly about the bible, which as an atheist, isn’t my thing. Passing it on to my religious family member who will appreciate it.
