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.

STOP THE GAME OF BLAME AND SHAME,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Blame Game (Paperback)
Once again, the peace and serenity of Bear Country is shattered by the boisterous exchange between Brother and Sister Bear. Even the usually patient Mama Bear could not help but blow her top off. Papa Bear comes to the rescue by showing the way. He puts things right by getting Brother, Sister and even Mama Bear to chip in and help. By reading this story to my sons, they saw themselves in similar situations and decided for themselves that the more time spent on righting wrongs and the less time spent on the blaming game could go a long way in promoting a loving, healthy and harmonious family relationship. Without being preachy, this book is a good read and teaches family values at the same time.

The Berenstain Bears Are A Family Favorite,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Blame Game (Paperback)
We own at lease 10 of these children's books! Each story teaches a different life lesson. "The Blame Game." teaches not to waste time blaming others for what is most likely, simply an accident. When sister bear breaks the window, she blames brother bear for pitching the ball so close to the house.
Finally, papa bear steps in to stop the bickering. Mother bear and papa bear work together to get the kids to act more responsibly and stop "the blame game." Great stories for kids!

Still good, but I've read better,
By Merry Muhsman "Author and Reader" (Nickerson, NE USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Blame Game (Paperback)
My son loves these books and I love the lessons they teach. We have over 15 of these books. I appreciate how Mom and Dad work together to teach the kids lessons, however this one did not deliver like others. This one ended on a note that seemed abrupt. I even wondered what sort of lesson or outcome they desired. Usually my son wants to read the books again right away, but this one has only been read once, so I think he even struggled with understanding it completely. I still gave it four stars anyway, because we do enjoy the books at my house.
