Thank you, Stan Berenstain


He and his wife came up with books that taught kids what too much junk food could do, why the dark isn't really something bad, and how not to be scared of the dentist. And that's just a wee part of it. I remember learning the words "lever" and "scythe" from my copy of The Berenstain Bears' Science Fair.

Stan Berenstain, children's book author, dies at 82

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Stan Berenstain, who with his wife created the popular "Berenstain Bears" children's books, died on Saturday.

He was 82 and lived in Bucks County. He died in Pennsylvania on Saturday, said Audra Boltion, a spokeswoman for HarperCollins Children's Books in New York.

In more than 200 books, the Berenstain Bears, written and illustrated by Stan and Jan Berenstain, helped children for 40 years cope with trips to the dentist, eating junk food and cleaning their messy rooms.
