Children's
literature celebrates an important birthday soon--Theodore Geisel or Dr Seuss--on March 2. This auspicious event kicks of National
Reading Month in March and Read Across America, the first week of March. To
celebrate Dr Seuss, why not explore his books and those he collaborated on.
Stan and Jan Berenstain, creators of the Berenstain Bears, worked with Dr Seuss on the Beginner Books reading series
in the 1960s and 1970s. The books featured the Berenstain Bears Papa Bear, Mama
Bear and Small Bear. Small Bear became Brother Bear with the birth of Sister
Bear and later the baby, Honey Bear.
The
Berenstain Bears have been loved by children and adults for over five decades!
The first book, "The Big Honey Hunt," was published in 1962 after
which the Berenstain Bears had many adventures including those with Dr Seuss.
