Honey Bear is a character in the Berenstain Bears series. She is Mama and Papa's second daughter and Brother and Sister's younger sister. She was first mentioned in the book The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears before she was finally born in The Berenstain Bears and Baby Makes Five.

Biography[]

Following Honey's birth, Sister becomes jealous of her, especially since she was now the middle child and felt neglected whereas Brother, Mama, and Papa were enamored by her. However, Sister eventually warmed up to Honey and accepted her as her new sister. In the book series, she is 2 years old. Despite appearing in some books that later received animated adaptions, Honey does not appear in the 2002 animated series The Berenstain Bears.

Prior to her debut, Stan and Jan Berenstain ran a contest to name the then-unnamed newborn cub. At the end of the book The Birds, the Bees, and the Berenstain Bears, readers were prompted to send in suggested names for the baby. The name "Honey" was chosen from several entries, and was the accepted name upon her birth in The Berenstain Bears and Baby Makes Five.

Trivia[]

  • Stan and Jan debated for years whether or not they should introduce a third Bear Family child.
