That’s certainly how it was pronounced at school, the library, the book fair, and our home back in the 1980s! |

| I'll read Jan/Stan to our kids, but Mike's writing is really terrible. |

| I get more hung up on how much of an idiot Papa is, and Mama always has to set the family straight. Drives me crazy! |

When I was 7 or so I wrote a bunch of books about the Berenstein Bears. Still have them and that is how it is spelled.
I know I would have copied the actual books but I dug them out and they all say STAIN. Like WTF! |

Same. This one blows my mind.
Papa bear was also OG MAGA. |

My elementary kids love these books - they request them on repeat nightly. Do not find them outdated. And respectfully disagree that they are sexist. Mama Bear wears the pants in that family! |

Mike is also a religious fanatic from what I can tell, or, at least he has turned his books that direction. Can't handle any of the new ones. |

I'm so confused by this thread because while yes, "stein" is definitely a lot more common way to end a last name than "stain" which is probably why everyone spelled it wrong this whole time, it was definitely pronounced "Bearn-stain Bears" in my midwestern community. Even if we spelled it Berenstein. |

No I know to this day pronounced it “stain” which is likely why most people have been spelling it Berenstein forever. |
