### 2/5 — New Bears

*2012-05-10, version 1.08*

The older versions did not contain scriptures, no awkward,did you know the Bible says, and more. The old versions also taught more without saying more! I'm a believer, but the bears were great and better without the verses. less awkward. While it doesn't hurt the child to have it in there couldn't there just be an optional verse at the end of the book?  Simplicity ruled Bear Country classics...now it's just plain different. I'll be giving the older versions out. We learned good stuff from them.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2011-11-10*

I don't remember this book with the same words when I was a child.

### 5/5 — Great book!

*2011-08-09, version 1.08*

This complete version is so much better than the secular hardback one we own which is choppy and was clearly missing the moral of the story.  Thank you for doing the book in it's entirety!  All the apps are great!!!

### 5/5 — Great message.

*2011-06-27, version 1.08*

I'm not sure what is confusing or misleading about this book. Scripture is in the description and it's being published in part by one of the mega Christian publishing companies. It's fascinating people want to whine about morality. It's a safe, encouraging book for kids. I find it refreshing rather than disappointing.

### 5/5 — Mom

*2011-05-06, version 1.08*

Love the Berenstain Bears, and love this app! Great alternative to video... More engaging, but still the stories we love! :) App works flawlessly...have had no issues whatsoever!!

### 4/5 — Surprise! It's Christian.

*2011-05-01, version 1.08*

Good thing we are progressive Christian? Persons of other faiths should be informed before they purchase this application. We enjoyed the book and message.

### 5/5 — Great book with a reminder that Jesus says to share

*2011-04-27, version 1.08*

Wonderful book. Graphics are identical to the print book, but not really any animation. Does have sound effects added and some interactivity by touching the objects and it will show and say the word so helps with beginner reading. Narration is a great reader.
Some mentioned horrible Christian themed. Completely untrue. It mentions prayer  maybe 3 times in the 45 pages and mentions Jesus twice I think telling something he says. Then a short scripture at the end that talks about sharing. Maybe the the other reviewer is against sharing. Either way it is a great book and some Christian elements are not going to harm your child only could help. Giving a one star just because of the mention of prayer seems childish. Maybe we will pray for you.

### 1/5 — Christian Themed Book

*2011-04-26, version 1.08*

This is not one of the classic Berenstain Bear books, it is a very Christian themed book. I thought I was purchasing a book about sharing, not praying and lessons from Jesus. Very disappointed in this purchase.

### 5/5 — My kids love it!

*2011-04-08, version 1.08*

Great graphics and I was very impressed by the sound.  Very happy with this.
