Description:

In Michael Rosens, We're Going on a Bear Hunt four adventurous children, chaperoned by their dauntless father and the family dog, go out on a bear hunt. Along the way they encounter such obstacles as a deep, cold river; thick, oozy mud; and a swirling, whirling snowstorm--all of which they manage to overcome. Finally, they reach a narrow, gloomy cave where they find what they've been seeking: a big, furry bear. However, encountering a bear isn't as pleasant as they all imagined it would be, so the family quickly turns around and makes the trip back home--this time with the bear hot on their trail. This picture book version of the traditional chant is full of sounds to exaggerate when reading it aloud, from the Squelch squerch of feet plodding through mud to the Hoooo woooo! of the fierce snowstorm. B&W drawings illustrate the parts of the story where the family encounters an obstacle, while watercolor illustrations depict how the family cheerfully overcomes these roadblocks--as well as their fast trip back home.Reading level: Baby-Preschool

      I was a pre-school teacher. I wanted some books for a one year old I could read my granddaughter that I liked to read aloud.This is one I liked when I did this for a living.

    • Board book

      My grandson loves this book. It's very fun to read it and have the chanting along and hand movements that I know also go with the book.

    • Family Time

      I loved this book! It was very entertaining for my 2.5 year old as well as for me as an adult! I find myself saying"were going on a bear hunt....etc" You will also find yourself repeating these words.

    • Nap time story

      My little guy (14 months) has wanted this story read before nap for months now. its a great story that builds up to an exciting, not scary, chase that my son wiggles and giggles at. He always will grab this book to have it read at reading times. the illustrations are great for kids. one page with color the next black and white. great book, highly recommend this book for children of any age.

    • OK, but there are better books

      My three year old likes the book OK, but not one of his favorites. Our one year old shows no interest. I had read great reviews about the book, but I don't enjoy reading this one. We prefer the Dr. Suess books, Sandra Boynton books, Daddy Kisses, Mommy Hugs . . . .

  • A father and his four children--a toddler, a preschool boy and two older girls--go on the traditional bear hunt based on the old camp chant: "We're going to catch a big one. / What a beautiful day! / We're not scared. / Oh-oh! Grass! / Long, wavy grass. / We can't go over it. / We can't go under it. / Oh, no! / We've got to go through it!'' The family skids down a grassy slope, swishes across a river, sludges through mud and, of course, finally sees the bear, who chases them all back to their home. It's a fantastic journey--was it real or imagined?--with the family's actions (and interaction) adding to the trip a goodnatured, jolly mood. The design of the oversized volume alternates black-and-white drawings with gorgeous full-color watercolor paintings, which Oxenbury uses to wonderful effect. Readers accustomed to her board books will find a different style here, of puddled colors and sweeps of light and shadow. The scale of the pictures and the ease with which the text can be shouted aloud make this ideal for families or groups to share. Ages 4-9. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
