Editorial Reviews

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.

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Blaze a Trail (Paperback)

I purchased this book along with several other Berenstain Bears books because my grandsons have expressed an interest in the books that we had from when two of our sons were in elementary school. It's a great book and our 4 year old grandson just loves it when we read it to him. I would recommend this book to anyone who has young children or grandchildren. The children can relate to the things that the Berenstain Bears do.
