Description

A large-format version of the award winning children's classic.

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.

Children will delight in the repeated phrases and onomatopoeic words. Perfect to read aloud.
Winner of the Nestle Smarties Book Prize 1989, Highly Commended for the Kate Greenway medal 1988 (picture book).

Reviews

"A dramatic and comic masterpiece... Beautifully produced, written and illustrated, this is a classic," The Independent on Sunday.

"A father and his four children--a toddler, a preschool boy and two older girls--go on the traditional bear hunt based on the old camp chant: ``We're going to catch a big one. / What a beautiful day! / We're not scared. / Oh-oh! Grass! / Long, wavy grass. / We can't go over it. / We can't go under it. / Oh, no! / We've got to go through it!'' The family skids down a grassy slope, swishes across a river, sludges through mud and, of course, finally sees the bear, who chases them all back to their home. It's a fantastic journey--was it real or imagined?--with the family's actions (and interaction) adding to the trip a goodnatured, jolly mood...the ease with which the text can be shouted aloud make this ideal for families or groups to share."
