We're Going on a Bear Hunt

A total classic. Can you rhyme it as loud as we can? It’s splashy, it’s muddy and it’s loads of fun. Don’t delay: pull on your wellies! Hurray: we’re going on a bear hunt! Through the long wavy grass, the thick oozy mud and a swirling, whirling snowstorm. But will we find a BEAR today? Get ready to run away! We always love Michael Rosen, but never more than when we’re reading this noisy, joyful delight.

  • A classic delight by the best-loved Michael Rosen
  • A truly iconic rhyme adored by children worldwide
  • Outdoorsy, exciting and bursting with imagination
  • Winner of the Smarties Prize and filmed by Channel 4
