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.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Friends, November 8, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Friends (Paperback)
This book is good for the age rage from 3-6 years, who are just making friends at school and in their neighboorhood.
Sister bear has Lizzy move in next door and they become friends, and learn that sometimes friends have fights, but that a friend is good to have despite their differences.
This book teaches kids that even when friends have differences and fights they need to overcome their differences and still be friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars The BerenstainBears Trouble with Freinds Review, December 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Friends (Paperback)
I gave this book a 5 star review because it teaches children that arguing and fighting is not the way to solve your probleems you have to talk through them. This book also has a lot of pictures that kids would like.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for an analogy, help with friends, February 10, 2005
By 
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble With Friends (Paperback)
This is really a nice book to help with friends. It's funny how we received this book at the same time our neighbor boy is having the exact same trouble with someone who just moved in. In a time and era where "bullying' other kids has become very popular to the point of articles being published in the local papers here, this book definitely handles what to do when a friend isn't quite the friend you had hoped he/she would be. This one ends with the friends being friends again and how they worked out their differences. One of the most important aspects in this book I think is that they always show either the new girl's mother or Mama Bear in the picture when a resolution needs to take place between the two girls. It is subtle, but I think this is lacking today - parental intervention when children don't exactly have the skills available to help them in a situation like this. This is a great book to have with something that unfortunately, has become quite a problem in Columbus, Ohio.
