RIP
bears forget their manners
Originally uploaded by Kit Pollard.
Stan Berenstain, author of a zillion books read and loved by the Waskom family, died last Saturday at age 82.
During the late 80's, when my sister was little, I probably had all of these books memorized. We read them so often.
The Post article is a nice one. I was surprised, though, to read that Charles Krauthammer thought Papa Berenstain was "wimpy" and emasculating. Obviously not so emasculating that the books changed the caveman-like attitudes of the Waskom males...
Very sad. But the books are timeless.

My personal favorite (not because I TOTALLY related to it or anything) is "The Berenstain Bears and Too Much Birthday".

I was telling Cail yesterday that I especially liked "Forget Their Manners" because it provided a nice counterpoint to "Benji Goes to a Restaurant."
