Book Review: The Berenstain Bears Easter Magic

The Berenstain Bears are books that I used to read as a kid.  This is a book about Easter and how Spring is so nice and the snow is melting. (I guess that is retty accurate). Brother and Sister bear are excited to have their Easter treats in this short but sweet (ha, get it?) book about Easter Magic!

The book is only about 8 pages and is a short poem about Easter.  It’s really cute and a great item to maybe place in your child’s Easter basket!

I received a free e-book from the publisher through NetGalley in order to write this review I was not otherwise compensated.

About the Book

The Berenstain Bears encounter the magic of Easter!
Spring is here, the trees are budding, and everywhere in the countryside, nature is coming back to life. In Bear Country, the most magical time of the year isn’t Christmas or Halloween or Thanksgiving—it’s Easter! But for Brother Bear and Sister Bear, the only good kind of Easter egg is the kind that’s full of chocolate.
This spellbinding Easter poem tells of the majesty of spring and the joys of rebirth, but doesn’t overlook the pleasures of delicious Easter treats. And as flowers bloom and animals come out to play, Brother and Sister learn a valuable Easter lesson: how to avoid a stomachache!

This is a really fun CD for your kids to listen to while searching for their eggs and Easter treats on Easter morning!  I didn’t realize that there were so many Easeter / Bunny songs out there (I’d only heard a handful of the songs, if that, before checking out this compilation!)  but leave it to Golden Records to have them all put together in one great compilation.  The songs aren’t all that long, just a couple of minutes each, but all of them are very catchy and I dare you to not sing them around the house after you’ve listened. (I’ve had Flippety Floppety Bunny stuck in my head since my first listen!)

In addition to the songs there is the story of Peter Rabbit which comes in at the longest of the tracks at just under 5 minutes.
