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.

A Christmas Favorite,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Christmas Tree (Hardcover)
When I was little, my mom used to read this book to us every Christmas season. It is about how the family goes looking for the perfect tree, but every one they look at already has an animal family living in it. It is full of wonderful pictures and it touches the heart. I loved to look at the different Christmas trees the bear family wanted to buy. It is a wonderful book to teach kids the true meaning of Christmas!

Pretty good, but....,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Christmas Tree (Hardcover)
We love the Berenstain Bears books, videos and audio kits, but this one had a few flaws. Mainly, the rhyming was off-rhythem and would trip the tongue of even the best reader. But , as always, the illustrations were vivid and detailed, and the characters were lovable.
3.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty good book,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Christmas Tree (Hardcover)
I think the book shows children what the true meaning of Christmas is by showing them it is not what you get, but spending time with your family.
