5.0 out of 5 stars heart warming, 21 Aug 2005
my 4 year old son told me the bear hunt story, which i thought was lovely (as he spent so much time doing the actions). When i took him to the libary, can you imagine his delight when he found it. I have decided to buy him his own little copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day, we're not scared ..., 25 Oct 2006
By Dr. H. Payne - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Children love repetition and the chorus of this poem (see the title of this review) has the necessary repetition without being head-bangingly tedious for the adult reader. The rhythm of the poem/story is wonderful and we find ourselves chanting it on family walks. When our little boy was only 2 years old he could join in with us.

For each verse a new weather condition or practical obstacle (such as mud, a perenial little boy's favourite) is encountered. This provides the opportunity for lots of onomatopoeic "squelch, squerch", "swishy swashy", "hoo woo" and the like chants. Another winner with the children.

Finally after a long hunt the bear is found and everyone runs home to safety. This echoes the sort of I'm-coming-to-get-you, run-away game that parents and children have always played and enjoyed. Marvellous.

One word of advice - be mindful whether you're ordering a paperback, hardback or board book. When I first started buying for very small children on Amazon (wanting the more robust board books) I confused the last two formats resulting in some irritating returns and exchanges.

5.0 out of 5 stars The kids love it., 30 April 2006
I ordered this unseen in response to rave reviews on Amazon. At first sight I thought it was a shame that every other illustration was a black and white line drawing - 'the kids'll never go for it', I thought. But they don't mind a bit! They love chanting along with the words that repeat throughout the book, and they love making all the sounds. It's become a real favourite for both my 4 and my 2 year old.
