These books were a huge part of my growing up years. I loved the stories and illustrations. I remember as a kids wanting so badly to live in a tree house just like the Brother and Sister Bear. I even tried to model organizing my room after Sister Bear. There are a few of these books in my classroom, mainly the ones that teach about bullying, that I sometimes read to my students.
I want to say thank you to Jan for her creativity and dedication for incorporating quality 'family values' into her work. I know I was touched by her efforts.
