For brave hunters and bear-lovers, the classic chant-aloud by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury in a large board book edition.
We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one. Will you come too? For a quarter of a century, readers have been swishy-swashying and splash-sploshing through this award-winning favourite. 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!
At BeoVERDE, you can keep the adventure going with the matching We’re Going on a Bear Hunt 4-in-1 Puzzle and We’re Going on a Bear Hunt The Board Game – lovely companions to the book that bring the story off the page and into playtime.
