Product Description
Benjamin Bear is so impatient for Christmas to come. To help the time pass more quickly, his mother tells him that every day when he opens a door on his Advent calendar she'll tell him a story twenty-four stories all about another little bear and his long, arduous journey to Bethlehem. The little bear, led by a glittering star, meets many others on his travels across hot deserts, snowy mountains, and through dark, lonely nights. His adventures, filled with acts of heroism and kindness and many small miracles, show him the path to the Christ Child. And by journey's end Benjamin Bear and all youngsters who share the stories and their simple morals along with him will understand and celebrate the true spirit of Christmas.

 we love this story book December 21, 2008
K. Hedstrom
We are really enjoying this story book. My children are 3 1/2 and don't understand all of the story lines and their meaning. The stories intertwine beautifully and I try to help them pick up on some of those connections. But they look forward to reading a story every night and they remember what story we read the night before and look back in the book to see all the characters. This will be great year after year for Advent.
My girls can't wait for December November 25, 2008

We purchased this book several years ago. My girls can't wait for December so we can start reading it. The two oldest now take turns reading along with mom and dad. The stories are short, but meaningful. This book has turned into a wonderful family tradition. We have purchased a copy for each of our children so they can continue the tradition when they grow up. This also makes a wonderful gift.
 Advent Storybook is a lovely addition to my holiday children's books. December 28, 2007
Margaret B. Kober (Farmington Hills, MI USA)
Benjamin bear, like all small children, is anxious for Christmas to come. As Benjamin bear opens the doors on his advent calendar, Mother bear tells him twenty-four little stories about another little bear's journey. The first door on the advent calendar reveals a glittering star that leads Benjamin, little bear and us day by day to the manger. These stories with their short reflections on human kindness and God's love are the perfect way to teach tiny children about the true miracle of Christmas, the birth of the Christchild in Bethlehem.
Great storybook December 27, 2007
MMC (New Jersey)
This is a very nice Christmas activity story book, there are 24 stories to read. I read it to my 4 year old son, each story is short enough to keep a young child or readers attention, my son could hardly wait for the next story. It is a great way to count down the days to Christmas.

My son and daughter (5 and 6) love this book and can't wait to read it each night of Advent. They love that it has a bookmark and they can keep track of the night. Plus, it is a rare opportunity to help instill a deeper meaning to Christmas.
