{Children's Book Review} God Gave Us Two by Lisa T. Bergren

I am addicted to children's books.  Seriously.  I love them.  The best part?  L has finally decided that they might be interesting to look at (in addition to being something to chew on), so we are reading a lot more books these days.

One of our recent finds is God Gave Us Two by Lisa Tawn Bergren (illustrated by Laura J. Bryant).  This book is the follow-up to God Gave Us You, which introduces polar bear family (read my review here).


In this second title (first published in 2001), Little Cub - who once wondered about how her own arrival in the world - is now very curious about the new polar bear baby growing in Mama Bear's tummy!  Many concerns of new siblings are addressed: What if we don't like the new baby?  Can we send it back?  Do you still love me, too? Throughout the story, Mama and Papa Bear reassure Little Cub that she is still their precious child and that the new baby will just be another piece of their little family. 

Our family will not be introducing a new sibling in the near future, but I will definitely have this book ready when the time comes!  This title will be especially appropriate for families who have or are expecting twins - as in the end, it turns out that Mama Bear has not just one, but two new polar bear babies in her tummy!  This may be somewhat confusing to young listeners - be aware of the twist ending before you buy!

You can find God Gave Us Two on Amazon.  Plus check out other titles in this collection - including the first book, God Gave Us You either in storybook form or board book!
