About the Author

Stan and Jan Berenstain were both born in 1923 in Philadelphia.  They didn't know each other as children, but met later at school, at the Philadelphia College of Art.  They liked each other right away, and found out that the both enjoyed the same kinds of books, plays, music and art.  During World War II, Stan was a medical assistant in the Army, and Jan worked in an airplane factory.  When the war was over, they got married and began to work together as artists and writers, primarily drawing cartoons for popular magazines.  After having their two sons Leo and Michael, the Berenstains decided to write some funny children's books that their children and other children could read and enjoy.  Their first published children's book was called The Big Honey Hunt .  It was about a family of bears, who later became known as the "Berenstain Bears".  

Over 50 children's books later, Stan and Jan still plan all of their books together -- both write the stories, and both write the pictures.  They live outside of Philadelphia in the country.

5.0 out of 5 stars My son loves it!, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bears on Wheels (Hardcover)

I have a 20 month old son, and I have been reading him this book for 6 months. He loves it. He points to the pictures and pretends to read the book the way I do each time. This was the first book he truly loved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wheeling to Excellence!, March 1, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Bears on Wheels (Hardcover)

This is another in a series of Berenstain Bears books which exudes creativity and integrity. It follows the adventures of one of the smaller bears and we see him go through a series of situations and possible mishaps, with one at the very end, which he survives quite nicely. But the nicest part of the book is that it is short, for the short attention spanned in your household, with enough color and action to attract the most uninterested reader. I found it to be wonderful and an excellent addition to a child's library. Highly recommended!!

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bears on Wheels (Bright & Early Books) (Library Binding)

This book is a great book for small children that are just learning to read and count. The book goes from one to twenty-one and its colorful pictures help keep kids attention. I recomend this book for every child who is learning to read with there parents or big brothers or sisters.
