Just read this on CNN.com. Always enjoyed these as well as the Curious George series. Good
wholesome fun for little kids and the illustrations were fun as well.

I agree. These were some of the last books I ever read.

I think I had to own every book growing up. My parents would read them to me all the time. I got to know them so well I called them out when they were tired and tried to skip a page or two. Sad to hear

These were my favorite books to read as a kid by far.

Is Stan still alive?

1 of the books was also the inspiration for the name of a great punk rock cover band.

Come on, guys! Papa was the biggest pussy that ever lived. He should have been embarrassed to call himself a bear.

Highlights!

I got into an argument with my girlfriend about Goofus & Gallant. I always thought they were twins. She says it was two possible sides of the same boy. What say you, Bagels?
