and Papa enjoy the scenery, but the cubs want to learn about the
train. If they are lucky, Grizzly Jones might let them blow the
whistle. WOO-HOO!

Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists
for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing
children''s books. The first story starring the bear family, The
Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 250
Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 260
million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by
their young sons'' interest in children''s books has become over the
years arguably the best-selling children''s book series ever.
Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have
expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter
books—even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books
has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents
as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded
over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey
joined the family in 2000.
Since Stan''s death at age eighty-two in 2005, Jan and Mike have
continued to write and illustrate wonderful new adventures for
Mama, Papa, Brother, Sister, and Honey Bear. They live in Bucks
County, Pennsylvania, which looks a lot like Bear Country.
