I loved those books as a kid. I haven't read them in years, but it's sad to think that the creators are now dead.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

[up] I liked those Berenstain Bears books myself. Sure, they had flaws to them, but what fictional work doesn't?

I wonder what Stan (died from lymphoma in 2005) and Jan Berenstain's (died from a stroke this month) sons Michael and Leo are going to do? sad

So sad. I have such fond memories of reading these books with my mum and dad.

Wow, that's a blast from the past, I was big on reading the Bears books back when I was 5-7, hadn't thought about them in years and years.

RIP

Now that is sad. I may need to go make my inner child some hot chocolate to cheer her up.

Wait... that counts as junk food, doesn't it? Sorry, Mama Bear. I'll try and be better.

I have them in my classroom (high school sophomores). Sometimes it's just GOOD to be read to.
