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!

Be at peace

But doesn't the front on both says Berenstain in cursive or am I reading it wrong?

[-] fidodo@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Looks like it

[-] Bunnylux@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

It's neither of those. You're putting "bear" into it. Lmao. It's Berenstain.

[-] audiomodder@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 8 months ago

You’re wrong too. It’s the Bearenstain Bares, because it was a book about nudists.

Wait... Was I raised in a cult?

Oh God this is even worse. We've split again!

Can't wait for the multiverse to finally unravel

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.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

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

[-] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

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.
