Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury’s We’re Going on a Bear Hunt became an instant favourite among children and parents. It first hit the shelves in 1989 since then this book became a classics of all times. Meanwhile, a number of books came and fade away but this book is still most loved.

David Lloyd, Editor at Large, Walker Books said:

“ I first heard the mighty sound of Michael Rosen performing the piece, accompanied by 100+ children in a classroom in London. What excited me at once was the togetherness, the joyful way the children joined in, roaring the lines. What a beautiful day! We’re not scared.”

Storyline:

The book starts where father with his three kids and dog set off for a bear hunt. They seem very determined, energetic and BRAVE, as they kept saying “We are not scared“. On their way to catch the bear they find a number of obstacles (like Long wavy grass, squelchy mud, dark forest, swirling snow storm and dark gloomy cave) and they can’t “Go Over It, They Can’t go Under it. Oh NO! they Got to go through it“. The author use wonderful descriptive words to make the reader feel that they are inside the book and feeling all those obstacles. Finally, the family reached to the cave where they find the BEAR and guess what !! They got scared and ran back home, which wasn’t even easy as they had to face all those obstacles again.

My thoughts:

I first read we’re going on a bear hunt in a children centre where I used to take my daughter a few years back. I must admit I quickly fell in love with the story. It’s very well written, quite engaging and beautifully presented.  The blend of colourful and, black and white pages makes the book more attractive to kids.

My daughter listened to this book numerous times and now when she can actually reads it herself, her love for this book is still there. The book is full of lovely feelings which reader can feel while singing the book. I have read this book like 100 of times to my own and other children, trust me I never got disappointed as it kept them engage till the very last end. The book can also be sung like a song and children just love it as well.
