Featuring colorful illustrations, kid-friendly questions, and engaging Bible stories, these delightful faith-building adventures are geared to little ones ages three to six years old. Each story incorporates timely themes and age-appropriate lessons for kids as Clever Cub invites readers to learn about the God of the Bible.
Through Hartman’s gifted storytelling and vibrant illustrations by Steve Brown, God’s Word comes alive in these new adventures. In Clever Cub Learns about Love, children follow along with Clever Cub who learns about love and how to show love to others through the story of baby Moses. Clever Cub also discovers the joy of Jesus’ Resurrection and learns about the best surprise of all on Easter Morning in Clever Cub and the Easter Surprise.

“Clever Cub is a curious little bear who LOVES to cuddle up with the Bible and learn about God,” says Hartman, who is also the author of the YouVersion Bible App for Kids Bible stories that have been downloaded 75 million times. “By sharing biblical truths and God’s love through easy-to-understand faith-filled adventures based on Scripture, young readers can discover more about their part in God’s story and see the love of God in their own lives every time they ‘cuddle up’ with Clever Cub. My hope is that they receive the joy that Christ brings when we enter into a relationship with Him!”
