The spooky, old house on Spook Hill would make the perfect homeless shelter for Bear Country. The Good Deed Scouts and Old Tom better get busy with repairs
Stan and Jan Berenstain (often called The Berenstains) were American writers and illustrators best known for creating the children's book series the Berenstain Bears. Their son Mike Berenstain joined them as a creative team in the late 1980s.
My 5 yo wanted to read this book so badly, and really enjoyed it. We talk quite casually about the fact that there are homeless people in our city, that many are full of potential and have had hard lives, and how expensive housing is. My son sees homeless people as /people/ as /real humans/, and this book was important to us, because this is a topic that you do Not see mentioned in kid's picture books.
"Share your food with hungry people. Provide homeless people with a place to stay." - Isaiah 58:7
Learning to help those in lesser situations is valuable to children. This Living Lights Good Deed Scouts is great to share a lesson on helping the homeless. A fun read and would even work well for Halloween or camping or anytime with ghost stories. Things are not always what they seem and the hardest part is getting past the surface.
