    Stan and Jan Berenstain were already successful cartoonists for magazines and adult humor books when they began writing children's books. The first story starring the bear family, The Big Honey Hunt, appeared in 1962. Since then, more than 370 Berenstain Bears books have been published, and more than 300 million copies have been sold. What began as an idea sparked by their young sons' love of reading has become over the years arguably the best-selling children's book series ever.

    Since their inception, the Berenstain Bears stories have expanded to include picture books, beginning readers, and chapter books--even a hit TV show on PBS. Writing and illustrating the books has become a Berenstain family affair. Mike joined with his parents as a creative team in the late 1980s. The Bear family has expanded over the years as well. Sister Bear arrived in 1974, and baby Honey joined the family in 2000.

    Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania.

One of my kids favorite books growing up. It is very engaging and the kids listening to an adult who reads with a voice. I couldn't give my kid's book away so I bought it online to give as a gift.

Toddlers love this book. Not scary, with a repeated phrase that the kids love to say as you read it, if you emphasize it of course when read it to them the first couple times. "One with a light, One with a stick, and One with a rope"
The book arrived in new condition.

Three little bears, one with a light one with the stick and one with a rope, go on the adventure through the spooky Old tree. This has been one of my favorite books to read, and always requested by the littles I have watched throughout the years. Simple story, not too scary, beautiful artwork and a story you can really put drama into. I purchased a few copies, originally I was going to just purchase them for my nieces who grew up with me reading this book to them, as baby shower gifts (It's hard to believe "my babies" are grown up .) but my husband added more for me to give to the kids moving out of my class. (They LOVED the gift, I had a few moms tell me how excited their children were to own the book and how excited they were to have a copy to read at home.) this is one of those books that can create a love for reading, wonderful bonding opportunity for parents and children. I can't wait to see my nieces reaction when she opens her present and sees a set of the books she loved as a child to read to her own little ones with this one on top.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent for little children and very young readers
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 1, 2010

Rather as Dr. Seuss did, the Berenstains wrote and illustrated books that have an immediate appeal for very young children - I have read them successfully to children as young as 20 months - and are also very effective as first or very early readers. This one is not quite as simple linguistically as 'Old Hat, New Hat' or 'Bears in the Night', but it works on the same principle - a very simple story, lively illustrations, some repetition and a happy ending. Three bears venture into the old spooky tree, greatly daring, and find out what lurks there. For the audience at which it is aimed it is excellent, and to those who have the pleasure of reading to very little people, it is a welcome addition to the library.
