Stanley "Stan" Berenstain September 29, 1923 – November 26,
2005 was born in a neighborhood of west Philadelphia and died of
cancer in Solebury Township, Pennsylvania. Janice "Jan" Berenstain
née Grant born July 26, 1923 was born in Philadelphia and was
raised in west Philadelphia and attended Radnor High School. They
met on their first day of class at the Philadelphia Museum School
of Industrial Art in 1941 and married five years later, on April
13, 1946. They had two sons, Leo and Mike.
In an interview about the books, the Berenstains said that a big
reason behind their inspiration was some of the difficulties
parents faced, as well as some childhood tribulations when they
were kids themselves. Their books evolved to include items such as
cell phones and video game systems in the fictional Bear Country,
which were nonexistent or very limited when the books were first
commissioned. The Berenstains also noted there were some issues
which seemed to appear in every generation, such as kids throwing
tantrums in public places, which made important subject matter for
their stories. However, they deliberately wanted to steer clear of
overly heavy issues such as violence.
In 1951, they published Berenstains'' Baby Book, which dealt with
the topics of pregnancy and raising a young child. Although
containing practical advice, the book used humor and reminded
parents not to take every situation too seriously.
They produced together the magazine cartoon feature It''s All in
the Family from 1956 to 1989 in McCall''s and Good Housekeeping.
They published their first book featuring the Berenstain Bears in
1962 and with the help of then-head of children''s publishing at
Random House Theodor Geisel Dr. Seuss created a lasting franchise
including many more books, television series, toys, and stage
productions. Jan was inducted into Radnor High School''s Hall of
Fame on October 20, 2006.
The Berenstains'' comic strip It''s All in the Family unrelated
to the similarly named TV series appeared regularly in McCall''s
magazine and depicted the antics of a suburban family with mother,
father, eldest and youngest sons, and middle daughter. It''s All in
the Family was not a conventional comic strip in the sense of a
sequential progression of panels. Each issue featured a single
situation, often seasonally appropriate, such as the daughter
preparing, cooking, and serving a family meal for the first time or
the costume preparations, rehearsal, and performance of the
youngest child''s Christmas pageant. Within a given issue, each It''s
All in the Family drawing was a stand-alone panel with a caption
gag, rather than one panel of a sequential strip, but individual
panels in order depicted the complete arc preparation, completion,
aftermath of that issue''s family experience.
Stan and Jan Berenstain''s younger son Michael Berenstain born
in 1951 is a writerillustrator and also illustrated many of the
books written by his parents. He continues to work with his mother
on new projects
