Stanley Melvin Berenstain (1923-2005) and Janice Marian Berenstain (1923-2012) were American writers and illustrators best known for creating the children's book series The Berenstain Bears.
In the early 1960s, inspired by their children's enthusiasm for Dr. Seuss books, the Berenstains decided to attempt a series with animal protagonists themselves, settling on bears-- not because of their surname as was commonly believed, but because "bears are furry and appealing." They published their first book featuring the Berenstain Bears, The Big Honey Hunt, in 1962. At the time, their inspiration, Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss), was working as an editor in the children's division of Random House Publishing and eagerly approved the concept. He edited several books in the Berenstain Bears series.
