We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day, we're not scared ... - Rated
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.
Distinctly average - Rated
I bought this book based on rave reviews and I really don't know what all the fuss is about. It's a bit of a basic and rather odd story. There are so many other better books out there for pre-schoolers that it just does not justify a five star rating.
we're going on a bear hunt (hard cover) - Rated
I purchased this book from amazon knowing how good this book was for my young daughters when they were growing up!The book has both colour and black & white illustration and lovely story telling too.Although i am a little dissapointed with the size of this hardcover book,it's less than half the size of the soft cover version, so i have ordered the larger soft cover book instead. still overall a lovely story.
Simply a classic - Rated
A book every child will love. It's got everything: masterful use of repetition, beautiful pictures, sounds that are huge fun to read and even a chase sequence with an angry bear. Bedtime isn't the same with any other book!
The kids love it. - Rated
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.
