    Stan  and  Jan  Berenstain  introduced  the  first  Berenstain  Bear  books  in  1962.  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  the  delightful  Bear  adventures   from  the  family  home  and  studio  in  Pennsylvania,  in  an  area  that  looks  much  like  the   sunny  dirt  road  deep  in  Bear  Country.     Find  The  Berenstain  Bears  on  Facebook,  Twitter,  and  on  their  website:   http://www.berenstainbears.com/
