Johnson reviews an underlined passage in her copy of The Berenstein Bears Get The Gimmies (below).
“The Berenstein Bears Get The Gimmies is my favoritest book ever,” said Johnson, hugging the dog-eared book to her chest with both arms. “The Berenstein Bears taught me about not being greedy. I used to have the ‘galloping greedy gimmies,’ but not anymore.”
Johnson received the life-altering 32-page book, one in a series of more than 50 written and illustrated by Stan and Jan Berenstein, as a gift from her grandmother.
Great stuff!
