JAN AND STAN BERENSTAIN Stanley Melvin Berenstain and Janice Marian Grant were both born in 1923 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and met in 1941 while attending the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Arts. Stan was drafted into the Army during World War II and served from 1943 to 1946. Blind in one eye, he was given limited service and spent most of his army career as a medical illustrator at an army hospital in Indiana where he began drawing and publishing cartoons in magazines. During the war, Jan worked as a draftsman for the Army Corps of Engineers and as an aircraft riveter.

Stan and Jan married right after the war and began their careers as a magazine cartoonist team, publishing cartoons revolving around family humor in The Saturday Evening Post, Colliers Magazine, McCall’s, and Good Housekeeping.

They started their own family in 1948 with the birth of their son, Leo, followed by Mike in 1951. Since both sons were big Dr. Seuss fans, Stan and Jan decided to try their hands at creating a children’s book themselves; The Big Honey Hunt was released in 1962 with Dr. Seuss (aka Ted Seuss Geisel) himself as the editor and publisher. More than three hundred Berenstain Bears books have followed in the fiftythree years since, and total sales of the series have topped 300 million copies.

Their son, Mike, a children’s book author-illustrator himself, joined his parents in their continued magazine work and by 1992 moved on to illustrating and co-writing Berenstain Bears books. In 2004, Mike suggested to Stan and Jan that they create a new sub-line of Berenstain Bears books that reflect spiritual themes, co-creating the first four titles in the ongoing Living Lights series released by Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins, in 2008. The Berenstain Bears series has also been adapted for TV in animated specials for NBC and cartoon series for both CBS and PBS. The characters have also been featured as dolls, toys, games, puzzles, software, clothing and many other products.

After a long illness, Stan passed away in November 2005, at the age of eighty-two and Jan died in February 2012, at the age of eightyeight.

Mike Berenstain continues to be the creator of the internationally successful franchise which remains a classic to this day. www.berenstainbears.com *MORE THAN 300 MILLION COPIES SOLD WORLDWIDE! *6.9 MILLION ANNUAL U.S. SALES! *NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! *USA TODAY BESTSELLER! *PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY BESTSELLER! *OVER 380 BOOKS PUBLISHED AND OVER 190 TITLES IN PRINT! *38 NEW BOOKS PLANNED THROUGH 2017! *SCHOOL BELL AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE, 1960! *CHILDREN’S LITERATURE CITATION, 2007!

__________________________________________________________________

DOWN A SUNNY DIRT ROAD Random House, 2002. World English Books available Once upon a time, in Mrs. Sweeney’s first year drawing class at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Art, a “lantern-jawed exotic” named Stan admired the drawing of a brown-haired, blueeyed girl named Janice...and it was kismet! It also heralded the birth of one of the great collaborations in all of children’s literature: Stan and Jan Berenstain, creators of the Berenstain Bears. This enormously readable account tells of the early years before they met, their courtship (briefly interrupted by World War II), married life, and their first fateful meeting with Theodor Seuss Geisel—the editor-in-chief and president of Beginner Books. It was this fateful meeting that led to the publication of The Big Honey Hunt–the book that launched their careers as children’s book artists and introduced to the world what would quickly become America’s first family of bears: the Berenstain Bears.
