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

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.

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 Do not find them outdated.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!

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!

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!
