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.

Lesson for children & parents,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday (Paperback)
A lesson of modesty which is very well described! Children and parents will learn that big, sensational birthday party does not necessarily ends up with happiness!

our son's favorite,
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday (Paperback)
We have at least 15 Berenstain Bears books, and this is one of our 5 year old son's favorites. It shows how much fun birthday parties can be, but also that we can get too carried away by them. There is one part where the cubs play "spin the bottle" which does seem odd, but Sister only ends up kissing Brother on the cheek...this part doesn't seem to be a problem for our son.

Too Much Birthday for the Bears!,
By
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday (Paperback)
One of my daughter's favorite Berensteiin Bear's book. In this episode, we find the Bears preparing for Sister Bear's birthday party. Mamma Bear is quite concerned that the party will be too ostentatious--but not Pappa bear. The party starts and doesn't go quite as Sister Bear expects and the kids get a good lesson in expectations and politeness at your own party. Good subject matter and as always great lessons for your kids.
