Element Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I loved the Berenstain Bears books as a child, and my dd did too, so I thought I would pass this along in case there were any other fans here: Jan Berenstain, co-author and illustrator of the Berenstain Bears books, died today at the age of 88. Her husband and co-author, Stan, died in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mothersweets Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 :sad:I'm so sad to hear of her passing. I loved their books as a child and my own children have read two copies of The Berenstain Bears' Almanac & The Berenstain Bears' Nature Guide to tatters. I think I had a first edition of each individual book (that's how old I am!). I liked the original ones - The Bears' Vacation, The Bears' Christmas, The Bears' Picnic, Bears in the Night, and Inside, Outside, Upside Down. They are some of the very first books I remember looking at/reading from. I also learned to rhyme from them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
