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."  


Stan and Jan planned all of their books together. They both wrote the stories and created the pictures.  They continued to live outside of Philadelphia in the country.  There are now over 300 Berenstain Bears books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bad Losers & Bad Winners too January 11, 2004

By Micole Roy

Format:Paperback

Do the boy cubs not want Sister Bear around simply because she is a girl or is it that she is boastful about being better than the (older) cubs? Should Papa Bear force the boys to let Sister Bear in their club or is there a better way to handle this situation? These are just some of the issues covered in this good book.

"The Berenstain Bears No Girls Allowed" is not just about boys versus girls. It highlights that it is important to be a good winner and promotes resolving issues in a win-win manner (rather than ripping your adversary limb from limb).

My son enjoyed this book. After reading it he said he was going to start a club for his boy friends and his girl friends. His sign would say "No Bullies Allowed".

4.0 out of 5 stars No Girls Allowed September 29, 2003

A Kid's Review

Format:Paperback

I absolutely loved this book because it good for children between the ages of 4-8, thats when girls and boys dont really like to hang out because they have "cooties". This book teaches boys and girls that its okay to play around each other. I understand that it does get very annoying when a younger sibiling follows you around, all the time!!! I liked it how after brother bear made his "No girls allowed club" how sister bear retaliated and made a club where she baked food and all the boys wanted to come and eat it, even though he wouldnt let her into his club she let him into hers. But after she let him into hers brother bear let sister bear and her friends come over to his club and took down the "No girls allowed sign" and said "Girls welcome"!! It was a great story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sore Winner Sore Loser July 24, 2007

By M. Vrieze

Format:Paperback

Brother and his friends get angry at Sister cause she shows off every time she wins at something. They build a fort far away in the woods. She finds out about it, but they won't let her inside nor any of her girls.

Papa helps her build a girl only fort. Then a cook out is made and the boys from the boy fort come to eat.

In the end they play together without restrictions.

Further this book shows that being a sore winner is just as rotten as being a sore loser.
