Good  Deed  Scouts  Help  Their  Neighbors    By  Jan  &  Mike  Berenstain    Release  Date:  3/19/2013    Price:  $9.99    A  collection  of  beloved  Berenstain  Bear  Good  Deed  Scout  stories  written  to  the  Level  One  I  Can  Read™  standards,  with  a  special  message  about  God’s  love  and  family.    About  the  Author    

   Stan  and  Jan  Berenstain  introduced  the  first  Berenstain  Bear  books  in  1962.  Mike  Berenstain  grew  up  watching  his  parents  work  together  to  write  about  and  draw  these  lovable  bears.  Eventually  he  started  drawing  and  writing  about  them  too.  Though  Stan  died  in  2005,  and  Jan  in  2012,  Mike  continues  to  create  the  delightful  Bear  adventures  from  the  family  home  and  studio  in  Pennsylvania,  in  an  area  that  looks  much  like  the  sunny  dirt  road  deep  in  Bear  Country.    Find  The  Berenstain  Bears  on  Facebook,  Twitter,  and  on  their  website:  http://www.berenstainbears.com/
