First thoughts, before reading - just getting my hands on it, it's bigger in size than I expected, but thinner in size that I expected. Interesting. I'm wondering how it compares to the standard Berenstain Bears books or the new 3-in-1 or 5-in-1 treasuries. I'll have to check that. I think it's different because at a glance it is not square, however I do think it is as tall.

I've been looking forward to this one for a long time! This is the one that the girls keep out in their room and reference daily. Definitely I think it is true to say that The Berenstain Bears are their favorite characters.

Is there anything that I looked forward to more in the juvenile Christian genres than the Berenstain Bears Bible?! Illustration-wise I'm delighted. Story-wise there was at least one retelling that gave me pause. However overall I'm in love. This one is slightly larger than the standard 4-7 age range Bibles lately, but it's not quite the 9x9" we're used to from The Berenstain Bears series either. No matter the size it is cuddle-worthy and definitely spark-worthy of getting those Berenstain Bears loving kids into scripture.

Now onto the audio. In general I'm a pretty positive reviewer. Most often I love the Berenstain Bears and products that come from Zondervan, but goodness this audio narration is HORRIBLE! She speaks way too slowly and exaggeratedly in a bad form that is ridiculously annoying to listen to. With that said, it doesn't seem to phase my girls and they listen to it almost daily. Yet for myself, I cannot stand to be in the room with it and I'm almost willing to record a new version of it myself. *sigh*
