A very happy bear hears the sounds of the city from his quiet home by the sea and decides to find out what city life is like. Buying the ticket and travelling on the train is all very exciting. And so is the city! But after a while, the bear finds the city a little too noisy and a little too busy - and people are beginning to laugh at him. He feels very sad and alone, until four children find him and show him the way home, with much fun along the way. A perfect book for reading aloud, with just the right amount of excitement before a wonderfully calming ending - just right for reading before bedtime!

'A long-awaited near-sequel to the bestselling, much-chanted We're Going on a Bear Hunt.' Guardian
About the Author
Michael Rosen is a hugely bestselling author of poetry. His classic picture book, We're Going on a Bear Hunt, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, has become a permanent favourite.

As 'bear hunt' fans we had to get this! The repetition is great and keeps young ones interested. Getting the CD with the book helps as Michael Rosen reads it out as it should be done! Adrian Reynolds' illustrations are great & colourful as usual. The question is - is it the same 'bear hunt' bear?!

What a lovely book, with cracking illustrations!
I bought this book for my 1 year old son, who loves bears and thoroughly enjoys Mr Rosen's 'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' - I would say he likes this just as much, if not more and he's now over 2 years old!
It's bright and colourful, which is great for babies and toddlers and the repetition running throughout the book draws children in - especially the "Bananas, fish and shoes" page. It is lovely to hear Mr Rosen recite this book on the CD (great for car journeys!) and it is amazing how you, too, change the way you tell the book once you've heard it how he imagined it to be read - you will be surprised.
A wonderful purchase; this would be a perfect gift for any little person who loves bears!

This is a lovely story, we had boys in the house from 18 months to 3 years who wanted to read it again and again, there can't be much higher praise than that. The CD is also fantastic- hearing the story as Michael Rosen intended. We love the "dooby-doos!"

This book is not one that we would keep long-term. I found the length of the poem and the amount of repetition tedious and I think my 4 year old son did too. Read more
