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.

5.0 out of 5 stars
an all-time childhood favorite,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Week at Grandma's (Paperback)
This is a Berenstain Bears classic, and one I will always treasure. Some of my greatest childhood memories were days I spent with my grandparents, and all the strange and wonderful things we learned and discovered together.It is not always easy for kids to leave their parents for days at a time, but this book is a wonderful story that helps kids to overcome their fears of spending time away (a similiar theme is developed in "The Berenstain Bears Go To Camp."). The story is fun for kids and adults alike, and families can relate well to it. Additionally, the illustrations are colorful and engaging. ...this is not necessarily a book for first time readers, but early readers, and there are other Berenstain Bears books with easier words. This a great one for kids who have been reading for some time and otherwise works as a great story to read aloud to your kids. Highly recommended as a cornerstone to any children's library or Berenstain Bears collection.

A Good Read Aloud Book for Parents of Young Kids,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Berenstain Bears and the Week at Grandma's (Paperback)
All of my children enjoyed this book, and the message, of spending a week at Grandma's (the prospect of which has Brother and Sister Bear somewhat anxious), and the "old folks" turning out to be livewires and loads of fun, is a great one. The text (and amount of it per page) is probably a little much for beginning readers. The illustrations, like all Berenstain Bears Books, are charming, especially those depicting a honeymooning Mother and Father Bear as thinner and active (so that the kid bears don't recognize them!). Overall, a solid book that kids will enjoy and parents won't mind reading repeatedly.
5.0 out of 5 stars
