Meet Mike Berenstain
Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable
bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005, and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create Berenstain Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania.

Meet Stan and Jan Berenstain
Stan and Jan Berenstain began writing and illustrating books for children in the early 1960s, when their two sons, Michael and Leo, were young readers themselves. They lived on a hillside in Bucks County, Pennsylvania - a place that looks a lot like Bear Country.

Review
“Fans of the series will feel right at home with the familiar story structure and cheery illustrations.” -- Kirkus Reviews
“Preschoolers will love exploring classic Bear Country with the familiar Berenstain Bears in their newly released faith-based series” -- Children’s Ministry
“Michael’s enthusiasm about his work is contagious. He is not only committed to creating sound, edifying instructional literature for young children, but he is energized by his continuing opportunity to challenge children and their parents to think seriously about significant life issues and practices such as giving thanks, loving near-and-far neighbors, applying the rules of good sportsmanship and nurturing relationships with each other and with God.” -- Homecoming
“Kids ages 4 to 7 will love these.” -- Homelife
“The Berenstain Bears and The Golden Rule does a wonderful job of presenting a very basic rule of good behavior to young children in terms they are able to understand… The Berenstain authors have certainly continued the beautifully written and enjoyable books children have grown to love for many, many years…. For those previously acquainted with these wonderful stories, a faith-based series is a welcome edition. If you are finding Berenstain books for the first time, you will be pleased to begin with Godly rules of character as you get acquainted with the Bear family in their beautiful tree house in Bear Country.” -- -The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

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 370 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 300 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading 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.
