A little bit of history of the first Thanksgiving is given, and then Sister Bear discovers something she is thankful for also. ### 2/5 — Read to me function isn't working *2013-11-27* I recorded my voice and the read to me function will not work. ### 2/5 — Two Problems *2013-11-18* My children always loved the Berenstain Bears books when they were growing up, but I was disappointed in this app for two reasons: 1) Squanto was from the Patuxet tribe and was associated also with the Wampanoag tribe in the area of Plymouth, MA, yet during the skit abut the first Thanksgiving that the young bears presented, the bear playing Squanto is wearing the full feather headdress of the Great Plains tribes. Squanto would have worn a simple headband with one or two feathers in it. 2) The use of God and prayer instead of the more inclusive term "religious freedom" rules out using this app in a classroom setting except in a private school. Incorporating prayer into the text rather than just stating the fact that the Pilgrims prayed makes it difficult to use this app in a diverse setting. ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2012-11-07* Thank you for this inspiring, uplifting book. My daughter loves all the Berenstain Bear books and I love the values they teach. Perfect!! ### 5/5 — Thank you *2011-12-03* We loved reading this as a family. Thank you for reminding us Who we are thankful to at thanksgiving. ### 1/5 — RELIGIOUS messages not desirable... *2011-11-21* Really didn't appreciate the bible references. Please offer a secular version for all of us non-Christians out there, thanks!! ### 5/5 — Nice Story *2011-11-17* Well done ### 5/5 — Wonderful!!! *2011-11-15* My Son and I just love the Berenstain Bears Books.....now having them on our phone is even better! ### 3/5 — I like it but could have done without the praying and bible verse. *2011-11-03* I have almost all the B.B. Books on my iPad so naturally with thanksgiving coming I got this one...I am however an atheist and didn't appreciate the praying or bible verse and felt there was absolutely no need to include that in this story. ## Frequently asked questions about Berenstain Bears Give Thanks ### What is Berenstain Bears Give Thanks about?
