We're Going on a Bear Hunt

"We're going on a bear hunt.

We're going to catch a big one.

What a beautiful day!

We're not scared."

A classic children's book.

This traditional nursery story is brought to life with Helen Oxenbury's incredibly beautiful water colours and pencil drawings.

Mum, Dad, big sister, big brother and baby set off to catch a bear, through hazardous terrain and wild weather.

Each of the six locations and situations the brave and fearless family find themselves in on their bear hunt is the subject of a pencil drawing and watercolour that you could look at endlessly.

Helen Oxenbury's attention to detail in what can only be described as magnificent artworks are a pleasure to look at, time and time again.

And time and time again is what you'll need when your children get a hold of this book.

The language is presented in a rich, rhythmic refrain that children love to repeat. A wonderful vocabulary builder.

Chloe's review: when given the choice between this book and any other book in the world in the last two years, Chloe chose this.
