RIP Stan Berenstain, Goodbye Berenstain Bears =(

[spinkle]

Beloved children's author (and Philadelphia-area local hero) Stan Berenstain died on Saturday [Nov. 26th] at the age of 82 =( link

 

Goodbye to him and his legendary creations, The Berenstain Bears =(

 

I think my childhood has officially ended now.

[90SK]

Are you kidding me? Not him too!

 

I read them when I was little. We have a big collection. R.I.P, childhood memories.

I never really like the Berenstein Bears. That doesn't mean that this doesn't SUCK BIG TIME, but I never liked them that much.

My mommy always said, "If you have nothing nice to say, then it's better not to say anything at all."

 

And I liked the Berenstain Bear books. I'd no idea how old the Berenstains were, but I guess I know now. Condolences to his family, especially Jan. :/

[Vladimir-Vlada]

Even though I have never heard of this person, nor of his creations; I believe that we should remorse for this person as well, because death is merciless.

*Takes off his hat and places it at his shoudler*

May he rest in peace.

Man I used to love the Bernstein Bears. Too bad kids now can't enjoy them too RIP

Sad indeed. I remember The Bernstein Bears Go to the Dentist (or something simular). I was so afraid once when I had to go to the dentist, but my mom read me the book and I wasn't so scared. Its been years since I thought of that....

 

I feel.......... old.

 

Rest In Peace, Sir. Thank you for the memories.

That is indeed some sad news. I caught a little of the story on CNN, but did not see it through.

[MrVorlon]

I never knew the Bearenstein Bear.

 

RIP to another lost legend.

My mom used to read the book to me and I used to watch the TV show. *sniffles* R.I.P Mr. Berenstain.

[REDJOHNNYMIKE]

I remember reading those books back around 3-6 yrs, never seen anything since, but still sad.

Eh, call it benefitial for many families. There will now probably be an increase of children who are taught morals (not like they need any) from their parents intead of from those books.

[Aash Li]

Its Berenstien, not Berenstain (sounds like a porno name). I had a load of their books when I was little.

 

The movie sucked as I recall...

Actually, according to Wikipedia and the link spinkle provided, "Berenstain" is correct.

I also believe that it is better to learn morales from parents, elderly people and philosophical books; instead of books with just a large number of paintings.

 

But still, a person died and we must show respect.

Actually, according to Wikipedia and the link spinkle provided, "Berenstain" is correct.

And unless the publisher is wrong too, its Berenstain.

Clicky, this is

 

Thats the one I was talking about earlier.

[Aash Li]

Hmmm... Almost every link on google image people write it with an e; since thats the proper spelling of it (its a Jewish name). But youre right, all the book images themselves have an a. Must be an "americanized" version of the name.

RIP Stan. Looks like we lost another major influence of our youth...
