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.

More About the Author
Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 300 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.
Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books--even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.
Since Stan's death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.

This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Galloping Ghost (Big Chapter Books) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my grandson and he loves it. It's one of the older Bearstain Bears books he saw on the back of one he got at the library. It was a great book for him!

Bears at it again,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Galloping Ghost (Big Chapter Books(TM)) (Paperback)
As the front cover of the book shows, the Bernstein Bears and the Galloping Ghost shows what happens when Brother and Sister Bear stumble across a hooded member of the Klu Klux Klan on horseback. A great and satisfying read, though not quite as good as when Papa Bear becomes a militant black panther in the Berenstein Bears book "Fightin' the man." Overall though, this book is a triumph in the study of post civil rights race relations. A great gift for any fan of Toni Morrison!
