The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight is the first Berenstain Bears interactive Living Books PC game released on July 28, 1995, and is overall the ninth Living Books game. It is based on the 1982 book written by Stan & Jan Berenstain and its adaptation of the 1985 TV series on CBS and Southern Star Entertainment.
Plot[]
The story opens with a prologue of not getting along, in which it doesn't just happen to bears, but also to people as well. It takes the player to the first part of the story, which takes place in a literal treehouse, the home of a family of four bears. One morning, a bear cub named Brother Bear and his younger sister Sister Bear wake up when a mockingbird sings a song. Brother greets Sister and she greets him back. He and Sister usually get along really well by waiting their turns to use the bathroom, using good table manners, sitting together on the school bus, sharing toys and respecting each other well.
But one gray morning, Brother and Sister's argument begins and quickly turns into a fight between the two of them and eventually a battle between both of them. The fight first started where Sister lets her feet dangle down in front of Brother's face, annoying Brother. Sister puts her head close to Brother in an annoyed look. Then, Sister (annoyed) races off to the bathroom before Brother does and when she arrives at the bathroom taunts Brother and laughs at him through the bathroom door enraging Brother.
When Sister takes too much time in the bathroom, Brother angrily bangs on the door and shouting at her to force her to come out of the bathroom. Papa comes out of his bedroom and sternly tells Brother he shouldn't be yelling at Sister, though Brother complains that Sister is greedily using the bathroom by taking a long time in there and she's doing it on purpose.
Then, they use bad table manners at breakfast, sit in different seats on the school bus much to their family's dismay (Sister sits in the front and Brother sits in the farthest back), they draw a line down their backyard tree house to split up, determining which side is their own, and take back the toys they normally shared (Brother hides his toy planes and trucks and Sister takes back her modeling clay that Brother made into dinosaurs for his school project and rolled it into a big lump). After Mama and Papa get fed up with their shouting, Mama (after whistling loudly at Papa, Brother and Sister from shouting) explains how everyone gets in arguments sometimes and remarks however Brother and Sister probably forgot what caused them to fight at all. The next day, they make up with each other and apologize and wash off the line they have drawn down the backyard tree house until the next time, anyway. At the end of the story, the bee finally found his girlfriend.

Trivia[]
- The running gag in the story is a bee looking for his "honey." The iOS port would give him the name "Buzzy".
- Honey nut pancakes (mentioned on page 1's outro) consists of buttermilk pancakes with honey on them. (That is, when Mama calls the cubs --Brother and Sister-- to get up and says their breakfast is ready. She says, "I have made your favorite. It is my famous honey nut pancakes".)
- This game also came with a video documentary of Stan & Jan Berenstain and is the only Living Book to include such a thing. The documentary is found in the files separate from the program.
- Not counting any Living Books samplers, this is the final Living Books game to use a shorter version of the Living Books intro without the ascending electric piano keys part.
- This is the first Living Books game to have a sampler, which was included on this disc as a separate application apart from the game. The only other games to have this treatment were Arthur's Computer Adventure and the 1998 re-release of Arthur's Teacher Trouble.
- Originally, demos of any Living Books game would be included as standalone demos on any Living Books game disc.
- Oddly, this game includes both the standalone demos and the first sampler, without reusing any files.
- A prototype of Dr. Seuss' ABC can be found in the sampler on this disc, as it was not yet released. It has no music (which strangely carried into the other samplers with few exceptions) and also has a man's voice instead of Ichabod's voice announcing the title of the book.
- Like the other Berenstain Bears game, you leave the book when Papa Bear says, "Well, if you say so. Bye" (if "Yes" is chosen), but you might want to keep playing when he says "Okay" (if "No" is chosen). The "No" is Brother, while the "Yes" is Sister. Since both of these games are Berenstain Bears games, it's Brother and Sister for "No" and "Yes" on the "Quit".
- Also, like the other Berenstain Bears game, Papa is the only tritagonist who asks the player if the want to quit, since most quit screens are asked by the main protagonist or sometimes the deuteragonist in said Living Book.
- The characters on the Main Menu are Brother and Sister, while Mama is in the Page Selection menu, and Papa is in the Quit menu.
- However, the difference is that The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight has language options.
- Also, like the other Berenstain Bears game, Papa is the only tritagonist who asks the player if the want to quit, since most quit screens are asked by the main protagonist or sometimes the deuteragonist in said Living Book.
- This demo version can be featured in Dr. Seuss' ABC, Sheila Rae, the Brave, The Berenstain Bears in the Dark, Green Eggs and Ham, Stellaluna and Arthur's Reading Race.
- This is one of two games in the series (the other being The Tortoise and the Hare) that bizarrely do not sort the credits animation sequences in the proper order. Here, Painting appears after Music, which is clearly an incorrect order due to how the PAL versions of almost every game have the two animations sorted in the proper order (Painting, then Music). Additionally, in this game, the Painting animation lists the voice actors, quality assurance, and special thanks– which that animation doesn't represent.
- This game was also packaged along with other Living Books games in a Living Books Library box set.
- This was the last Living Books game to support IBM files.
- This is the second shortest Living Book, with eleven pages.
- This Living Books game uses a different variant of the original plain background The End screen; it is in a teal background with a window of the Berenstain Bears' tree house and the Bear family opens the window to say goodbye, then a bee named Buzzy pulls a banner that says "the end".
- This was once one of the most elusive out-of-print titles in the Living Books series to find on any auction site, until it was re-released for the iOS as part of the Wanderful Interactive Storybooks line in 2013.
- Final Living Book to use the original version of the 1992 Living Books logo.
- Only Living Book in which the characters have the player dance along with the theme song.

Sister Bear: Well, I want my clay back. Your dinosaurs look stupid anyway!
(Sister --with her toys that being, her clay-- takes Brother Bear's clay dinosaurs. Then she --deliberately-- rolls them into a big clay ball.)
Brother Bear: HEY! That was my school project! I've been working on that for a week!
Sister Bear: Well, it's my clay, and you can't use it!

(When the upstairs window on the left is clicked on)

Brother Bear: Well, that figures out for how much a girl would be if she threw like one!
Sister Bear: It's not like that! You are just jealous! I even handle out what i was throwing just like Too Tall for all these years!
Brother Bear: I am just jealous?! Too Tall is just jealous! He hardly did anything by teasing on someone!
Brother Bear: I never liked you anyways.
Sister Bear: You did too!
Brother Bear: Did not!
Sister Bear: Oh, you think you're such a big smarty-pants?!
Brother Bear: Yes, I am!
Page 8 (Outro)[]
Sister Bear: I'm never gonna play anything with you, ever again
Brother Bear: You really do...
Papa Bear: What are you two fighting about now?
(Mama puts her fingers to her lips and whistles extremely loudly. Sister and Brother stop fighting. And Sister gasps and looks at Mama.)
Sister Bear: I did not know that you could whistle like that, Mama!
Mama Bear: Well, I can whistle like that! And I can also tell you, that is enough of this foolish fighting!
Page 9[]
Sister Bear: (from the flashback) YOUR DINOSAURS ARE STUPID ANYWAY!
Sister Bear: (apologizes to Brother about taking back her model clay and wrecking Brother's clay dinosaurs) I am sorry that I wrecked your dinosaurs. I can help you make new ones if you like.
(Brother accepts Sister's apology, even though her saying "Sorry" may not fix his dinosaurs just because she said it. He accepts it even though Sister still broke them. Really, they are still broken. But Brother forgives her anyway. That is, as he --Brother-- says...!)
Brother Bear: Well, OK.
(Brother happily accepts it when Sister promises him she can help him make new clay dinosaurs --for the trouble she caused on it-- and to make up for it when she took back her clay. So, despite the fact that she purposely wrecked Brother's clay dinosaurs, she says "Sorry" and promises to help Brother build new clay dinosaurs. It is true that her apology is not good enough. But Brother --when he hears her say she will make up for it and help him build new clay dinosaurs-- he forgives her and accepts her promise to help him make new dinosaurs.)

Sister Bear: Well, that was really fun!
Brother Bear: Hope to see you again soon.
(a bee named Buzzy pulls a banner that says "the end" on it)
The Whole Bear Family: Bye for now!
