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." 480: 462: 178: 168: 147: 292: 490: 81: 71: 53: 22: 864:

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:

Why does this article give summaries of some of the books? I thought it was just supposed to be a list. If it's going to summarize some of the books, shouldn't it summarize all of them?

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.
