Politeness (Berenstain Bears Gifts of the Spirit)

This Berenstain Bears Gifts of the Spirit storybook celebrates the joy of faith, family, and friends—values essential to a wholesome and fulfilling life!

Kids ages 3 to 7 will enjoy this sweet, faith-based story filled with fun, colorful illustrations—it’s the perfect read-aloud for any day! 

Gramps loves to play his violin, but unfortunately, he isn't very good! Brother, Sister and Honey Bear learn that being polite is more than just saying 'Please' and 'Thank you'. 

This 32-page hardcover storybook, created by Mike Berenstain, son of Stan and Jan Berenstain, includes a soon-to-be classic story about being polite. When Gramps finds his old violin, the cubs are happy to listen. But when they hear Gramps play, they must learn how to choose kind words and be polite!
Mike Berenstain is an author and illustrator of children's books. He is the son of Stan and Jan Berenstain, creators of the popular Berenstain Bears series of picture books. Like Stan and Jan before him, Mike draws on his own experiences as a parent (and, now, grandparent) to inspire the family themes he writes about—including Baby Berenstain Bears, a new line of adorable board books for the very youngest fans. He lives and works in the rolling countryside of Eastern Pennsylvania—a place that looks very much like Berenstain Bear Country. View titles by Mike Berenstain
