The Berenstain Bears: The Very First Christmas is a good book to have for your child or children's bookshelves. It one that you should read on Christmas eve. This one tells the story of the very first Christmas.

You know how the story of Jesus' birth is long and somewhat complicated for children. Well, thanks to the author or authors they have made this book just right for children. The children can learn about the birth of Jesus without it being too complicated.

The pictures are done well. This book is a must-have for your bookshelves. It even should be on your list of Christmas books to read year in and year out.

The history of the Psi Corp from finding the first telepath to the birth of Bester. And it reads just like a history book, too. Way too dry to be a novel.

It’s all been done before...
Cedar Hawk Songmaker is pregnant. Unfortunately, evolution seems to be going backwards at an alarming rate in all things: animals, crops, babies....
Society goes mad, the giver collapses, and a religious government takes over. Another story where a woman is just a womb and the baby is the only important thing. This frustrates me: there’s only a finite number of women, and surely only a small number who are able to give birth to babies who haven’t ‘devolved’? Why risk them dying? Why force them to ‘breed’? I just don’t get these stories. I liked the first person, diary entry approach to the novel, by the way. It works really well.
This is very similar to A Handmaids Tale: men and religion controls the state, a declining birth rate, Big Brother is watching (thanks to George Orwell for that little sort device). Nice touch with the Native American Indians, by the way.
I have an idea - how about a (good, well-written) story where there’s a declining birth rate, men are to blame and WOMEN are in charge?! Has anyone written that yet? I’d buy it! Any suggestions will probably be read!
