Stan Berenstain
Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bears books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005 and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from his studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

The Berenstain Bears and the Big Date - Stan Berenstain
Chapter 1
A New Face
Another spring had come to Bear Country, and as cubs gathered in the schoolyard of Bear Country School to wait for the morning bell, there were signs that it wasn’t just the birds and the bees who were thinking of romance. Bermuda McBear was flirting with Cool Carl King. Gil Grizzwold was flirting with Babs Bruno. And, of course, spring wouldn’t have been spring without Queenie McBear flirting, too.
Queenie rarely flirted with just one cub. And today was no exception. At first she flirted a little with her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Too-Tall Grizzly. Then she pranced over to Barry Bruin, put her arm in his, and whispered something in his ear. Barry blushed. Suddenly he noticed Too-Tall glaring at him and went a bit pale. He pulled away from Queenie and ran over to a group of his friends.
Hey, Barry, where ya goin’?
teased Queenie, hurrying after him.
As far away from you as I can get,
said Barry. Your boyfriend’s giving me the evil eye.
Hey, Barry,
said Brother Bear. I hear Too-Tall wants to work out with you in the gym.
Why?
said Barry.
So he can turn you into his punching bag,
said Brother. Everyone laughed. Except Barry, that is.
Come on, Barry,
whined Queenie. Play along for a little longer. At least until the big guy realizes I’m just trying to make him jealous.
But it looked as though Too-Tall had already come to that realization. Suddenly he gave Queenie a big grin, blew her a kiss, and turned back to his gang.
Humph!
said Queenie. That big lug’s getting harder and harder to string along. What we need around here is a new face or two for me to flirt with—
Suddenly Queenie broke off. She was looking out toward the front gate. "Well, hello, she purred.
What have we here?"
A sleek black limousine had pulled up to the gate, and a uniformed chauffeur was opening the rear door. Out stepped a cub dressed in a suit and tie.
Who’s he?
asked Barry.
Beats me,
said Queenie.
Why’s he all dressed up?
asked Sister Bear.
Cousin Fred shrugged. Maybe he’s a substitute disciplinarian for Mr. Grizzmeyer.
Or the poster boy for some new dress code Mr. G’s about to announce,
cracked Lizzy Bruin.
But it was Bonnie Brown who had a serious answer to Sister’s question. Judging from the chauffeured limousine,
she said, I’d guess the expensive suit and tie are just another way for that cub’s parents to show everyone else how much money they have.
Very logical, Bonnie,
said Ferdy Factual. You are, no doubt, correct.
How’d you know that?
asked Sister.
Don’t forget,
said Bonnie, Squire and Lady Grizzly are my uncle and aunt. Every now and then they drop a hint that I should wear some fancy dress to school.
Hmm,
said Queenie, gazing dreamily at the new cub as he entered the schoolyard, elegant leather briefcase in hand. I wonder if he has a girlfriend. If he does, he probably buys her lots of expensive gifts. And if he doesn’t, it’s about time he got one…
Really, Queenie,
scoffed Ferdy. "Don’t tell me you’ve decided to go after
