Berenstain Bears

I love the Berenstain Bears.  I can't decide if it's because Mama always seemed to be able to do everything and loves to quilt or because they lived in a tree, but whatever the reason we read these books all the time.

The Berenstain Bears were created in 1962 by a wonderful couple, Janice and Stanley Berenstain.  They worked with Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss) to get their books published through Random House and have been an icon in the homes of many for the past 49 years.

This was one in particular is one of my favorites- can you guess why?   With over 300 titles to choose from, it's hard to pick just one favorite!

I was pretty excited when I heard that Moda will be producing a fabric line using the characters from these books.  It will be released at the Fall Market in Houston just this weekend!  We're definitely getting this in the shop!

What do you think about the Berenstain Bears?  Did your kids and/or grandkids read them?  Did you have a favorite?   Post your comments...
