The Berenstain Bears

From what I can remember while growing up my parents always had a hard time getting me to sit down and pick up a book for fun.  I never really got excited about reading until my aunt got me the book, The Berenstain Bears: Trick or Treat.  This is the book that helped me become more interested in reading because it was one book out of a large collection of Berenstain Bears books and, according to my mom, I had to have the whole collection.  This series of books was written by Stan and Jan Berenstain and each book tells a different story about the adventures of the Berenstain bears.  The family is made up of Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Brother Bear, and Sister Bear and it was always fun to find out what adventure, or trouble, they would come across in each book.  Along with being so enthralled with the book series I loved watching the Berenstain Bears TV show.  These books are ones that I like to read to kids I work with and they seem to love them too!
