Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

This Big Book edition of Helen Michael Rosen's classic adventure is perfect for sharing with large groups.

This worthy winner of the Smarties prize in 1989 is a timeless classic that is enjoyed by children of all ages as well as by the adults who are continually asked to read it again and again. Follow the family's excitement as they wade through the grass, splash through the river and squelch through the mud in search of the bear. What a surprise awaits us all in the cave on the other side of the dark forest. Michael Rosen's lyrical, repetitive text reads aloud beautifully and Helen Oxenbury's delightful watercolour illustrations not only provide the perfect complement but also add another dimension to the story itself. (Ages 3 and over)

The regular size edition of this book is also available.

5.0 out of 5 stars A superb book for children with learning difficulties, 10 May 2000
By mhcroft.@tinyworld.co.uk (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: We're Going on a Bear Hunt (Paperback)
I am a teacher of children with severe learning difficulties and I have been featuring this book in our literacy hour all through the last term. We have developed props to enhance the sounds and visual effects; such as a dish of water for the 'Splish Splosh', wellies in a tray of wet sand for the 'Squelch Squerch' and a model of a cave, complete with wet nose, furry ears and 'Two Googly Eyes' for the meeting with the bear. The children's reactions have been brilliant. Those with limited or no speech have been repeating some of the words (even at home). All have responded and joined in well (particularly those with challenging behaviours) and all of the children love the repetitive nature of the words and the exciting ending. An obsolutely brilliant book and hard to replace for this term's featured story.

5.0 out of 5 stars We're going on a Bear Hunt, 14 May 2007
By BM "bookmummy" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: We're Going on a Bear Hunt (Paperback)
This is my children's favourite book. My daughter (now 4) was given it for her 1st birthday and has loved it from about 18 months. My son, now 2.5, has been read it since birth and they both adore it. Because it's so fantastically repetitive and poetic both of them can recite the whole thing without needing the book so we often recite it whilst going for walks. We even play "bear hunt" round the house. I think it's a fantastic introduction to beautiful poetic language as well as being a fun story. I have heard people say their kids found it frightening but neither of my children ever have - and my daughter is frightened of most things!

5.0 out of 5 stars We're Going on a Bear Hunt, 13 Sep 2006
This review is from: We're Going on a Bear Hunt (Paperback)
This is a really great book and is my 3 year old's favourite. We have read it many many times and because of the repetition in the book my daughter reads it along with me. We always look out for the bear now when we walk through the woods now to take her brother and sister to school and do the actions when we walk through grass etc. I also have the story CD of it that she can listen to when she goes to bed!
