Imagine the fun of going on a bear hunt-through tall, wavy grass (SWISHY SWISHY!); swampy mud (SQUELCH SQUELCH!); and a swirling whirling snowstorm (HOOOO WOOOO!) - only to find a "real" bear waiting at the end of the trail! For brave hunters and bear lovers, the classic chant-aloud by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury is now accompanied by a cuddly, six-inch bear just waiting to be found.
The new board-book edition of We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen, illus. by Helen Oxenbury, follows a family as they travel through river, mud, forest and snowstorm in search of a bear-and rapidly retrace their steps when they find one. Black-and-white spreads alternate with full-color; sound effects like "Squelch squerch!" and "Stumble trip!" add humor.
