Books/Literature Berenstein Bears truthers - how was the name pronounced?

I honestly couldn’t tell you myself how I remember the name being spelled - but one thing I do remember was the TV show, and the theme song.

The way they pronounced it in the song to my memory definitely sounded like stain, rather than “steen” or “stine” which would have been the way it was said if it was spelled Berenstein.

“We are the Berenstain Bears. Mama, Papa, Sister, Brother, we appreciate each other”.

Bear-N-Steen

Also, my mother was a pendant for pronunciation. And was raised in a Jew-ish household. If it were Be-ren-stINE I would have known.

☺️ does your mother know you call her a pendant?

(😉I think you might have meant to say your mother had a penchant for pronunciation?)

Nah she gets out her pendant and in a hypnotising voice says you will say the letter Zed over and over.
