About the author
Mike Berenstain
433 books165 followersMike Berenstain grew up watching his parents, Stan and Jan, working together to write and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Mike is married to Andrea and they have three children. They live in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks a lot like Bear Country.
Mike's earliest memory is of his parents studio in suburban Philadelphia. He remembers sitting on the floor scribbling on yellow typewriter paper with a big black pencil. His mother looked at the tangled hairball he had created, pointed out some random shape and said, "Look! Youve drawn a fish!" It did, indeed, look like a fish. That was his first drawing lesson. Hes been drawing ever since.
Aside from drawing, Mikes primary interests growing up were playing whiffle ball with his older brother Leo, collecting insects, stamps, coins, bottle caps, baseball cards, etc., building model planes, playing Davy Crockett in the backyard and fishing. He was also interested in watching the creation of his parents magazine cartoons during the 50s and finally, the birth of the first Berenstain Bears book in 1962. Hes often asked which is his favorite Berenstain Bear book. The answer is THE BERENSTAIN BEARS PICNIC, created when he was twelve. It features a picture of Papa Bear getting a big load of garbage dumped on his head. He thought this was very funny. Ever since, hes enjoyed drawing garbageapple cores, banana peels, old bed springs and the like.
Mike attended art school in Philadelphia in the early 70s, then worked as a designer in the Childrens Book Department of a New York publisher before starting his career as an author and illustrator. His first childrens book was published in 1976 followed by some thirty more over the next sixteen years. These ranged in subject from wizards to dinosaurs.
Since the late 80s, he has been very much involved as a writer and illustrator with his familys creation, the Berenstain Bears. He continues to work with his mother, Jan, creating new books, writing and illustrating.
Aside from the bears, Mike is interested in many thingsin classical music, American history, astronomy and physics. He likes to ski. He spends a lot of time with horses.
Mike is married, his wifes name is Andrea. They have three children whose antics and activities growing up have provided inspiration for many Berenstain Bears books over the years."

More morality tale than charming story, but, parents may find if useful for teaching a lesson.
This is a modern Berenstain Bear story, the illustrations include cell phones and those silly wheeled 'hoverboards' everyone had to have. In other words, it's not going to end up being exactly timeless. The story is about Show and Tell at school and how everyone wants whatever gadget the other kids have brought to show off.
Not particularly charming, I feel like it's much the same story as the old book
Who knows though, maybe the more modern version works better.

Just mostly glad Mama and Papa didn't cave into the cell phone and that brother helped he find an old treasure.

Sister Bear thinks that show and tell day at school has gotten out of control, since everyone is bringing their fancy new gadgets to show off with. When her Barbie doll is upstaged, she feels disappointed. Brother Bear gives her an idea, and when the next show and tell day arrives, Sister Bear surprises everyone with what she brings.

This is a modern Berenstain bears book - rather moralistic which is not what I’m looking for in a story. Not that I’m against morals, but morality tales don’t make for much for a story. My 5 year old was happy with it, though she definitely wants a new Barbie doll now that can do calisthenics (which is the opposite of what she’s supposed to learn from the book).

Sister Bear was excited to share about one of her toys on Show-and-Tell day at school, but everyone got into sharing and bragging about fancy and expensive things so she didn't. She wanted something different, so she and Brother went into their attic to look. There she found the just-right-thing that no one - except her teacher and the school principal - knew about from their own experience.

Modern style Berenstains book, current topics. Actually helped my son before a 1st grade show and tell, wondering if his show was ok to bring to show friends.

I liked the lesson that it taught me. And it was fun to hear all the different toys.
