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.

Don't waste your money!,
This review is from: The Day of the Dinosaur (First Time Books) (Paperback)
A very poor effort from the point of view of a child. There are many errors in the book that will be caught by a four-year-old. Examples, Mesosaurus (a non-dinosaur marine reptile) and Eryops (an amphibian!!) are classed as dinosaurs and my four-year-old found these and about 8 others immediately. This book does have a saving grace, though, you can use it to introduce the child to critical thinking skills.

The Day of the Dinosaur,
By
This review is from: The Day of the Dinosaur (First Time Books) (Paperback)
ISBN 0394891309 - Let's be honest - despite the one reviewer whose child, obviously a genius at 4, knew that a Mesosaurus isn't a dinosaur, we're not buying these books to read to college students and Mensa members. The general audience for Berenstain books are young children who are either not yet in school or are only in their first few years. At that age, any dinosaur fan is going to like this book.
A quick rhyming (which I would swear is poetry, not prose) story of when dinosaurs lived, the sorts of dinosaurs that lived and what we can learn from the fossils left behind, The Day of the Dinosaur will entertain the true budding dino-fan and, hopefully, lead them to bigger, better, more scientifically exact books about dinosaurs down the road, when they're ready. - AnnaLovesBooks

Great Read,

This review is from: The Day of the Dinosaur (First Time Books) (Paperback)
My 3 year old loves this book and it has helped him to understand the progression of life. He now understands that Dinosaurs and others came before us. He also understood the joke at the end. We really enjoy reading this book together.
