Synopsis

For brave hunters and bear-lovers, the classic chant-aloud by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.

Follow and join in the family's excitement as they wade through the grass, splash through the river and squelch through the mud in search of a bear. What a surprise awaits them in the cave on the other side of the dark forest!

About this title

Review:

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)

A Big Book edition of this story is also available.

Review:

Beautifully produced, written and illustrated, this is a classic work for any age at any period. * The Independent on Sunday * With such a partnership, how can this gorgeous great picture-book rhyme fail? * The Guardian * Lovely to read aloud and beautiful to look at. * The Sunday Times * "It's a special book and it just never gets old." * Gurgle * "This contains adventure, companionship and good, old-fashioned fun." --* The Sun *
