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 and the Missing Honey (Paperback)

This book is really cute. But it also is a new readers book with some favorite childhood characters. It rhymes which makes it so much easier for young readers to connect with and makes reading much easier. It's pretty cute - Papa Bear's honey is missing and after a myriad of mishaps, they discover he's the culprit! All rhyming throughout the entire book but it's quite entertaining. Very good book to get if you have a young reader at home. Highly recommend!

This story starts when papas bears blackberry honey is not in his honey jar.Papa thinks that someone took it! The bears got their sniffer hound and decided to crack the case. They go out to find some clues and get papa bears blackberry honey back. I am not going to tell you how the story ends. You should read it yourselves and find out.

Missing Honey is not a good book to teach young children about the importance of being honest, and trust worthy. I did have high hopes for this one; however, it was a bit of a letdown.
