They both wrote the stories and created the pictures. Stan and Jan planned all of their books together. Their first published children's book was called "The Big Honey Hunt." It was about a family of bears, who later became known as the "Berenstain Bears." After having their two sons Leo and Michael, the Berenstains decided to write some funny children's books that their children and other children could read and enjoy. When the war was over, they got married and began to work together as artists and writers, primarily drawing cartoons for popular magazines. During World War II, Stan was a medical assistant in the Army, and Jan worked in an airplane factory. They liked each other right away, and found out that the both enjoyed the same kinds of books, plays, music and art.
They didn't know each other as children, but met later at school, at the Philadelphia College of Art. Stan and Jan Berenstain were both born in 1923 in Philadelphia.
