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.

Spark the flame of invention in your child,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears Fly-It! Up, Up, and Away! (First Time Books) (Paperback)
In "The Berenstain Bears Fly-It! Up, Up, and Away!", Brother and Sister Bear and their friends learn about flight and then invent some great combinations of paper airplanes and balloons. The books in the "First Time Do-it Books" series have the story line at the top of the pages and a how-to-do-this yourself section running along the bottom.
This is a book that can spark your child's imagination and desire to invent new things. You will probably like trying making some of the balloon powered planes too.
