God Gave Us Christmas God Gave Us Series Lisa Tawn Bergren David Hohn Books

Lisa Tawn Bergren has written a series of lovely children's books featuring the polar bear family. Mama and Papa and Grampa Bear teach lessons of life and faith to the little bears. In Bergren's newest offering, God Gave Us Christmas, Mama Bear and Little Cub leave Papa at home with the baby cubs as they go on a trip to learn the meaning of Christmas. Mama Bear, in her wisdom, does not disillusion Little Cub about Santa, but makes sure Little Cub knows that God, not Santa, invented Christmas.

Mama Bear takes Little Cub to see God. They see the northern lights, and the power of glaciers. But most importantly, they see Joseph and Mary and Jesus, and talk about the real meaning of Christmas. As Mama Bear says, "Jesus is the best present of all. . . . Jesus is a present for everyone, grumpy or happy, mean or kind. God gave us all Christmas."

God Gave Us Christmas will delight fans of Bergren's bear family books. This new one features art by David Hohn, instead of Laura Bryant. He maintains the style and characters recognizably, but I tend to like Bryant's work better. Nevertheless, it's a cute story, with pretty pictures, and communicates the real meaning of Christmas in an engaging way.

God Gave Us Christmas God Gave Us Series Lisa Tawn Bergren David Hohn Books Reviews

This is a very sweet book that helps little ones understand the true meaning of Christmas. I am excited to gift this to my little one on Christmas Eve. I know he is going to love it, because he loves books in general and the illustrations of the animals are sure to make any little one smile.
Before buying this, people should know that it's full of baby-talk and misspelled words that are supposed to be cute (and apparently a lot of people like this type of thing since the reviews are mainly positive). I won't read it to my child, but everyone can make their own decision. For us, it was written in a way that was insulting to children and talked down to them. The content isn't a problem, it's just the style of writing, so this book isn't terrible, it's just not for us (at all).

If you're okay with baby-talk and words that are spelled incorrectly to mimic how children talk, then you'll be okay with this book. If you find that sort of thing annoying and improper, you should avoid it.
This book is far too long and the concepts too complex for it's intended audience. I am an early childhood teacher with 40 years of experience, and while it appears to be a book for a preschool aged child, the contents are too complex. They started out ok, but kind of lost their way in carrying the book contents too far, trying to explain how God and Santa can exist together harmoniously for Christmas, etc. It might work for older kids conceptually, 6-8 years, but they are giving up on Santa around then anyway, and the Mama and Little Bear format is too juvenile past Kindergarten in my opinion.
Very sweet book. Bought two years ago, and my 4 year old has wanted to read it twice this week at bed time (we read Christmas, Advent, Santa, etc. books during December). It helps point kids to Jesus, amidst the craziness of commercial Christmas. Santa is mentioned, but as a symbol of generosity, as St. Nicholas originally was. I have several books by this author, and am I big fan of her ability to relate to children.
I have really struggled to find a book that had the true meaning of Christmas so clearly spelled out for my son (who is 3) WITHOUT turning around and telling him "so Christmas is not about Santa or presents or lights and decorations" in such a clear either/or Jesus vs Santa mentality. He is 3, so we wanted a way for him to be able to embrace the real meaning of Christmas AND be able to participate in other Christmas traditions like parades and lights and yes, even Santa.

This is the first book I have found that BEAUTIFULLY incorporates the fun and the magic of Santa and lights and Christmas traditions right into the meaning of Jesus birth at Christmas time. No more either/or this vs/ that. Finally a way to teach kids the true meaning of the season WITHOUT making them feel guilty for their excitement over Santa and stockings as well. LOVE IT.
Such a cute book !!! I love how it talks about Santa and says he has a part, but God is What Christmas is really about. Highly recommend !
A nice story to help children see the link between Christmas, Jesus, God and Santa. A little too much for my 2.5 year old, so more recommended for 3 and up
A Beautiful story that includes both Santa and Jesus. My husband and I are Christians, and really want our daughter to grow up knowing the true meaning of Christmas, but we also want her to have the fun of Santa Claus; this book is really perfect for our family values. It is such a sweet story about God being everywhere and giving us wonderful gifts. I love this book, and it is going to be part of our Christmas tradition for many years.
