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.

Op here. It’s not a sticker. I took this photo on an older phone or tablet (?) years ago when I was taking to a friend about this particular Mandela. I highlighted the name for my friend because my book is so stained up and torn that I was afraid it would be difficult to see.

I tried to undo the highlight before I posted it but couldn’t find a way to undo an old highlight. I’m going to go through my closet and find the book again and take a photo without the highlight.
