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.

The Berenstain Bear's Nursery Tales,
By
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears' Nursery Tales (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite Berenstain Bears' book even though it does not specifically involve the Bear Family. On the second page of the book is a picture of Mama Bear sitting on a rocking chair, sewing, and beside her lying on the bed next to the fireplace is Papa Bear and Small Bear. Papa Bear is busy reading bedtime stories to Small Bear. The three nursery tales are : "The Three Bears", "The Little Red Hen" and "The Gingerbread Man." Each tale is beautifully illustrated, well-told and humourous. Some of my favorite scenes are when Baby Bear discovers Goldilocks sleeping in his bed, the looks on the duck's, cat's and pig's faces as they say "Not I" whenever the little red hen asks for their help, and the way the little old woman, the little old man, the long-eared rabbit and the little brown bear chase after the gingerbread man while he sings "Run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" On the very last page of the book is a picture of Mama Bear leaving the room with her sewing in one hand and a candle in the other, as both Papa Bear and Small Bear have fallen asleep next to the warm glow of the fireplace.
