Complete List of Berenstain Bears Books [Printer-Friendly PDF Version] Copyright © Bradley Mariska, 2020 Welcome to the world's most complete bibliography of the Berenstain Bears book series! This catalog of storybooks, coloring books, and related ephemera has been an ongoing personal project for nearly 20 years. I am also indebted to fellow collector Jeremy Gloff, who has helped immensely in creating and editing this list over many years. It is my desire to help fans and collectors have a complete and accurate Berenstain Bears book list that is easily accessible at all times. The list is updated annually to reflect additions to the series (the books are still being published!), as well as occasional corrections or changes to the organizational system. NOTE: The most up-to-date version of the list can always be found at www.BerenstainBearsCollectors.com - this printer-friendly version is updated less frequently. I hope this list will help you grow your collection and learn more about the Berenstain Bears. And if you made it this far, you probably should join the "Berenstain Bears Collectors and Fans" group on Facebook. It's a great way to connect with other fans, ask questions, and show off your favorite treasures. -Brad 1 Complete List of Berenstain Bears Books Authored by Stan, Jan, and Mike Berenstain Also including a complete bibliography of non-bear books by Stan and Jan Berenstain, Mike Berenstain, and Leo Berenstain Copyright (c) Bradley Mariska 2020.
