613:"The cubs see new jackets in the mall window and want them really badly, but the jackets are expensive, so they decide to save money. They make lemonade stands and map stands, but they go too far when they make their friends pay just to get their own fishing worms and when they refuse to play with their friends and make them pay to borrow pillows. They save up enough money for the jackets, but instead of buying them, they decide to make more money for free hats. They make more stands and chores but see their friends not inviting them to their slumber parties and to the movie theaters. The cubs believe at first that their friends are just jealous that they're (Brother, Sister) getting fancy jackets, but their parents say that their friends are feeling like they're no longer Brother and Sister's friends. The cubs soon realize the error of their selfish ways. So instead of using the money to get free hats AND the jackets, they decide to buy the jackets, but then use the rest of the money to start their bank accounts and to have a party with their friends."

Book lists/tables should identify writer(s) and illustrator(s). To limit repetition they may be abbreviated in each line or the list/table may be divided, eg one list/table for book written and illustrated by Stan and Jan
Berenstain jointly.
830:
The three 2013/2014 records name editors who are not
Berenstains. If they continue to be named after the library receives the books, this is a change, perhaps representing editorial control by the publisher that was not exercised previously.

The preface should say whether Stan and Jan
Berenstain co-wrote and co-illustrated all of the books (as far as we know, because they were always so credited), whether one was only a writer or only an illustrator.

I've noticed many of the book summaries are incorrect, sometimes having no relation at all to the books. For example, the summary for "The
Berenstain Bears and the trouble with Money" states:

Berenstain Bear books, all 1995 or later --although his works solo and with other writers begin 1976.

Besides this being entirely false, it is very poorly written. I've began correcting several of them, but since I haven't read all the books yet, I do not know how many are incorrect.
