The Berenstain Bears' 
50th Anniversary in 2012

The Bear Detectives under inspection

     Originally published in 1975,  The Bear Detectives was part of Random House's Beginner Books series.  Jan and Stan's art file for this book has a number of things of interest.  The cover went through several drafts before the final art work was determined.  Read the rest of the story on our blog.
