He is a light disciplinarian (although prone to overreacting when pushed past his limit), often leaving those responsibilities to Mama or assuming the cubs are simply young and will learn as they grow.
She likes to make quilts, work in the garden, and take care of her family.
She is the main disciplinarian of the family and often uses chores or housework to teach lessons and responsibility.
She can be greedy about her toys, though this generally results in her learning a lesson at the end of the book.
She's best friends with Lizzy Bruin and, to a lesser extent, Queenie and Babs Bruno.
Between the two books, there was a contest for readers to name the baby, and the winning name was Honey (the winner was Christian Greaves of Rochester, New York).
She did not appear in the 2002 series though it can be seen that Sister and Honey, Mama's cousin Audra's daughter have a close relationship in The Berenstain Bears Go to the Doctor but she is seen as possibly 4 years old.
