    I don’t have this one, but I will cut you if you call them The Bearenstain Bears.

    I am not crazy! I know they swapped those letters! I learned to read with Bearenstein. I knew it was Bearenstein. One after See Spot Run. As if I could make such a mistake. Never. Never!

          Yes, the one in font is likely a typo. It’s so easy to get the name confused that even the transcriber got confused.

      It’s neither of those. You’re putting “bear” into it. Lmao. It’s Berenstain.

      I think a lot of us just mispronounced it. As an American “stain” seems like a lot less common of a name ending than “stein”. Easy to gloss over a spelling in a long word.

      The off-spelling was from overseas published books, so they couldn’t be sold in America.

        I’m not in America and my books growing up were a mix of hand me downs, library books, and stuff from the church. Maybe I got the mispelled versions.
