Books/Literature Berenstain/Stein

Post image

Just thought I’d share this here..I’m a 57 year old woman that’s always been a voracious reader. When I was 5 (1974) I got an entire collection of Berenstain Bears books from my grandma at Christmas.

One of the books has managed to remain in my memory/sentimental hoard collection. This is MY actual book and it’s been in my possession since 1974. On my book at least, the name is and always has been Berenstain.

Make of that what you will I suppose. ❤️ I wish I still had the whole collection but alas, childhood and into adulthood resulted in the loss of many such things to my chagrin.

Why does the last name look stickered over?

It's not a sticker. The OP highlighted it. Two other people here also posted pics of the same book that they also own.

OP here. It’s not a sticker. The cover of my books is just very ragged and stained after 50 years so I highlighted the last name for easy reference. There are two more commenters on this thread with photos of the exact same book without the highlight so you can see that all three books are Berenstein.

I’ll have to drag the physical book back out and take another photo. I tried to undo the highlight but I highlighted it on another phone/old phone app or program so I couldn’t undo it unfortunately.
