A question about bears?

BryanJerome wrote: Not offended at all.... Sorry if I came off as such. Just.... curious. The topic has been somewhat problematic for me of late. I have the book. Copyright 1974. Your reply, therefore, offered nothing I didn't already have. I'm asking for you to remember.... not recite.
"Science should welcome your questions, because science itself should question everything"

Actually you did ask me to recite, maby unconsciously, I think it came trough the words :,,Who were the authors? Jan and Stan Beren.... something''

Asking about the authors, and the ' .... something' in combination with the 'A question about bears?' topic title part makes it quite like a question. It is quite hard when you read the post for the first time and see that is not an question.. The only way I could have know that it was an non-question was at the moment that you did mention both the first names.. But I read over things quite easy. I did read it though, but not asking that simple question: ,,is it a question?''. Sadly I am not familiar with American and English writers, so I can not share your passion like you do. :blush: But I really like to search things I do not know.. :blink:

Questions like answers, that I gave. Nothing personal..

However, I want to thank you for expanding my knowledge about writers.

He knows what the book is called. And, he knows who the authors are. He purposefully didn't give the information because he wanted us to "remember" the books on their own merit and recall the experience of reading them.

To answer your question, Bryan, I have never read any of the books. But, I did watch the television show when I was a kid. It was a lovely series. Dealt with some cool stuff.

Yes sir...

Its apparent now...

Bryan, until your intention was laid out, it appeared as Aqua saw it...

Aqua is also not a native English speaker... If I remember right..

Assumptions cause quite a conundrum, don't they?

You do have a good memory, really like that

Correct, I am from the small, flat and dry bottom of the sea.. known as the Netherlands. I am not as good in speaking English.. but I do share the love for your native language. I learn it every day, but some things I can not learn easy, word play for example. Due to that problem I read almost every word as if it is actually pure.. Gives some problems every now en then

Your replies on my use of the vernacular are noted. Apologies all around.
Can someone now proceed to answering the question?
What do you REMEMBER the names of the authors to be?

The Berenstain Bears?
Of course, when I was a kid, the only bear I took interest in was Pooh.

What do you mean? The show was called the Berenstain Bears, if I recall.

I only remember little Snippets of the Berenstain Bears both book's and cartoons....I was so very very little....They were a common in my library when I was learning how to read, i had every book made, read every book made, and loved them all. I especially loved the Halloween one :laugh: But as was mentioned I was so little the memories are few and far in between. They did not have as much of an impact as Dr Sues, Whinne the Pooh and Barney did at that age

So you all REMEMBER the BerensTAIN bears not the BerensTEIN bears?

......I believe I just said so. Misspelled? Sorry. What is the point you are trying to make?

Did a brief google search. Seems there is a conflict of spelling and what people remember. " 'Stein" or " 'Stain" Most remembering it as " 'Stein" even though today it is spelled with " 'Stain" ........I was like, what? 8 years old? I really could care less on how it was or wasn't spelled way back when.....So....Again...I am failing to see what the point is to this topic? What else am I missing?
