CHILD'S PLAY: THE CARTOON ART OF STAN AND JAN BERENSTAIN text by Mike Berenstain

Best news of the week (in case you missed it):

After I posted a blog entry about the early cartooning career of Stan & Jan Berenstain, I was delighted to get the serendipitous good news that there is a book, just published by Harry N. Abrams, covering this topic!

Mike Berenstain was kind enough to stop by and let us know with these comments:

CHILD'S PLAY: THE CARTOON ART OF STAN AND JAN BERENSTAIN text by Mike Berenstain, forward by Jan Berenstain, has just been published by Abrams. It surveys Stan and Jan's cartoons from the baby boom years of 1946-1964 featuring all their full color Collier's covers and interiors, selections from their McCall's cartoons, newspaper comics and cartoon books. I am the author-- Stan and Jan's son.

Thanks, Mike!

That means that some of the terrific cartoon art from their above 1950s-60s era paperbacks will see the light of day. Not only will they see the light of day, it'll be on better paper, and with a family member as your guide.
