Berenstain Bears

Recently, Jan Berenstain, who created the children's book series Berenstain Bears with her husband Stan, died at the age of 88. I read as many of their books as I could when I was in elementary school, and the books are still some of my favorites to give at baby showers and to children for holidays and birthdays. Alexandra Petri's article in the Washington Post celebrating this series and its creators struck a chord with me and I thought it was worth sharing.
