I used to read their books to my kids... quite a while ago!
Yesterday we received some pre-Quilt Market literature from Moda, and apparently they are going to be making a fabric collection featuring the Berenstain Bears. This came as a complete surprise to me... Moda is not generally into licensed characters. What do you think? Does Moda have a good idea here? Are the Berenstain Bears books still popular with kids today? |
I think they still are, it's good Material to read. The local libraries still have them too.

Mama, Papa, Sister, Brother, and Honey Bear have moved into their new Bear Country quarters at Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, New York, for a dynamic new, permanent exhibit, The Berenstain Bears: Down a Sunny Dirt Road, produced by Strong in partnership with the Berenstain Family. The installation is a big hit...or as the Museum puts "so much fun you can bear-ly stand it!" Your journey down the sunny dirt road start with life-size sculptures of the Bear family. Walk down Bear Country Main Street to explore the stores and businesses inspired by the Berenstain books. There are so many things to see, do, and be in Bear Country! Design and sell quilts at Mama Bear’s Quilt Shop or put on an apron and tackle a project in Papa Bear’s Woodworking Shop. Hungry bears can head to Bear Family Restaurant, a kid-sized diner where you can play customer or be part of the staff. Dr. Bearson’s Dentist Office provides an opportunity to play dentist with a giant set of (removable) teeth, a giant toothbrush, floss, and a dentist’s mirror. There's Farmer Ben’s Farm, Sister and Brother Bear’s Club Houses, and the Bear Country School. Quilts?? Did somebody mention ... quilts?? |
We have their books and my daughters love to read them. The show on PBS is also a favorite.
|
I love the Berenstain Bears! My kids watch the cartoons and we have a few of the books.
|
Just sitting here I can see one that the grandkids were looking at and didn't put back on the shelf. So yes they are still around the kids like them.
|
My kids loved those books!! We had fun reading them, so cute !
|
we watch them everyday at 6 on pbs sprout!
|
i'm sure it will sell. everyone loves cute bears, whether licensed or not
|
OH how I remember them. When we were at Disneyworld many many years ago they had a show with the BB in it. LOL
|
My youngest is three and he loves them! They are on Sprout tv now. I think it is definately different for Moda but will be a big seller for them.
|
The bears are still quite popular here!

http://www.berenstainbears.com/ Mama Bear Warm, wise and witty. She is president of the Bear Country Garden Club and is a champion quiltmaker. Mama's favorite recipe is honey cured salmon. The only real problem she has in life is Brother and Sister's messy, messy room. Someone should send MamaBear and email and tell her that she sreally should join the Quilting Board! |
I love the B. Bears!
|
Still read them to my 6y/o...he loves them
|
OMG! My DD #2 loved those books and we have passed them on to her son - I would purchase the fabric in a heart beat!
|
Yes, they are very popular today for the very reason you mentioned. We read them to our children, who are NOW the parents of young children. To them they are nostalgia...they read them to their own children.

In one book, "Mama Bear's New Job", Mama Bear opens a Quilt Shop. I think the fabric will be popular.
|
My son loves the Berenstain Bears!!! He makes me read them for bedtime stories all the time!
