The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight is the first Berenstain Bears interactive Living Books PC game from 1995. It is based on the 1982 book written by Stan & Jan Berenstain and its adaptation of the 1985 TV series on CBS.
Plot[]
The story opens explaining how Brother and Sister Bear (the main characters) usually get along really well by waiting their turns to use the bathroom, using good table manners, sitting together on the 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 running gag of this game is a bee looking for his girl.
It is 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 (agitated) 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 get out of the bathroom. Papa comes out of his bedroom and says to Brother sternly that this is no way to talk to Sister ("You know better than to shout at your sister!"). Brother says (complaining that Sister is hogging the bathroom by taking a long time in there), "But she's taking too long and she's doing it on purpose!". Sister Bear was really hogging the bathroom.
Then, they use bad table manners at breakfast, sit in different seats on the bus much to their parents dismay (Sister Bear sits in the front and Brother Bear sits in the way back), take back the toys they normally shared (Sister takes back her modeling clay that Brother made into dinosaurs for his school project and rolled it into a big lump; while Brother hides his toy planes and trucks), and they draw a line down their backyard tree house to split up, determining which side is their own. After Mama and Papa Bear get fed up with their shouting, Mama Bear (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 girl.

Trivia[]
- The running gag in the story is a bee looking for his "honey." The iOS port would give him the name "Buzzy".
- 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 occurred after the player exits the game.
- 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 Icabod'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 Bear, while the "Yes" is Sister Bear. 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 Bear 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.
- Also, like the other Berenstain Bears game, Papa Bear 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. However, DW the Picky Eater (which has only ten pages) has no page number.
- 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.

Papa Bear: What possible excuse do you have for yelling at her sister like that?
Brother Bear: Well she put her feet in my face, and then she called me a grump, and then she ran into the bathroom and locked the door, and now she's taking her time, and....
Papa Bear: None of which is any excuse for pounding on doors, and making such a racket.

Mama Bear: Pardon me?
Farmer Ben: Can you please keep it down?!

Papa Bear: "STOP ALL THIS YELLING!"
Farmer Ben: I SAID, "COULD YOU PLEASE BE QUIET?!"
Mama Bear: Well, you don't have to shout. (slams the door)
Brother Bear: You can't use my treehouse!
Sister Bear: It's my treehouse, too!
Brother Bear: It's NOT your treehouse, it's MY treehouse! I built it. You sat around, and I did all the work.
Sister Bear: I sat around?! You sat around! You hardly did anything.

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)[]
(With a loud tweet, Mama puts her fingers to her lips and whistles extremely loudly. That is, to calm down the fighting and makes the cubs stop the yelling immediately. 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.)
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.)
The End[]
(the whole Bear family opens the window)
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!
