We’re going on a bear hunt! Through the long wavy grass, the thick oozy mud and the swirling, whirling snowstorm! But will we find a bear today?

With atmospheric rhymes to repeat out loud and a huge surprise at the end, this lyrical favourite from former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen deserves to be a part of every childhood.

Review

"A typically wonderful Oxenbury family sets out with gusto on a bear hunt, and the old story comes to life....Paintings are simply marvelous....Rosen's retelling is spare, with a driving rhythm, and some new sounds add sparkle to the traditional tale....Just plain fun from beginning to end." The Horn Book

"We're gonna catch a big one. What a beautiful day. We're not scared. Uh Oh…" Go along with this adorable family as they go out looking for a bear… and find one. This book has lots of repetition your toddler will quickly memorize and start repeating with you. The story is easily adapted into an engaging imagination game; pretend that areas of your house are the different obstacles in the book, then run away from your child's teddy bear, ending up snuggled in your bed, shouting, “We're not going on a bear hunt a-gain!!”
