Which would you have picked? Please tell me you've read Hound and Bear.
I like Hound and Bear for the story but I like the Berenstain Bears books for the illustrations. I'm good at illustrations. But Tomie dePaola has to have a nod. And the Steven Kellogg.
See my illustration? I call it "People of the Northeast"

I'm so damn proud of myself.
Anyway, Hound and Bear is about Hound and Bear. They're friends who live with each other. Friends that is, until Hound plays one too many pranks and gets kicked out of the house by Bear.
Oh the joie de vivre of Hound! Oh the hirsute steadfastness of Bear! Ages 4-8 is the recommended range, but the prank-loving adolescent in you will love it, especially the black paint episode.
And the illustrations! Ooooh! Simple line drawings! The use of one bright color amidst the greys! Steven Spielberg was inspired and hijacked that idea!
Okay, so Hound and Bear wins and the Berenstain Bears have to get on the train. At least there's more than one of them, so they'll have company.
Happy Sunday all y'all.
I think I missed out on Hound and Bear. Now looking back on it, it seems my childhood has a big black swirling black hole void where Hound and Bear should have been! As another bear I did know might say: Oh Fluff and Stuff!!
