In The Berenstain Bears Love is Kind, good manners have been wearing a little thin in the Bear family’s tree house. Maybe the bears just woke up on the wrong side of bed. Maybe they’re all so busy that they’re getting grouchy and cranky. Whatever the reason, it’s clear that things are on the wrong track in the politeness department. Grizzly Gran does not approve. But rather than scold, she brings the Bears a gift—a handmade sampler with a gentle reminder from 1 Corinthians about how important love and respect are. Before long, Gran’s idea works, and the whole family begins to sound more like their kind and polite selves again.
