Jan Berenstain Dies at 88; Created Berenstain Bears

In a 1994 book, “New Neighbors,” the Berenstain Bears confronted racism in their very midst: Papa Bear, acting standoffishly toward the new neighbors, the Asian-looking Panda family, admitted to feelings of prejudice and learned the error of his ways.

These were my favorite books & cartoons as a kid. Thank you for the bears, Ms. Berenstain!
