We're Going on a Bear Hunt

Louis loves this story and it has become a firm favourite at bed time. He loves to join in with the sound effects and actions and can now recite most of story! Definitely a 5 star book in our house.

This is the perfect book to read aloud as we get to use lots of different voices and facial expressions which really excites my son. The writing is so beautiful and there is a great rhythm to the tale. A real favourite.

This is a favorite of my 2 year old daughter its easy and fun to read and she loves joining in reading which she found easy with the repetition and actions we made up.

I have read this book so many times I know it by heart-my 2 year old son can not wait until the bear appears and loves the chase scenes at the end and the last page when the bear is seen trudging back to his cave. We do the various actions as the family travel across different hazards in their search for the bear.

I read this to Maggie at bedtime, we love doing all the actions and Maggie gets really excited, she does get a bit sad about bear being on his own at the end but I just say he's off home to mummy and daddy :o)

This is a fabulous book with lots of different sounds. We came across this in a pack of ten books and had never heard of it before but our 10 month old loves it. Brilliant adventure for little explorers!

My son has just turned 1year and I thought this would be too long for him, but he absolutely loves it! Sits patiently listening and shouts "cat" when we get to the bear (and I correct him!).... Lovely innocent. Fun book to read and they'll remember. Must read recommendation. Xx

We love this book. When I was younger I did some work in nurseries and the children used to love sitting in a circle and joining in with the noises. My mum read it to my younger brother and she reads it with the children she looks after so it was only natural that we bought it for my little boy. He is six months old now and he gets excited towards the end of the book when I speed up. The repetition is great for him and he recognises the sounds. We also think the illustrations are lovely too - he loves to look at them. The book is a perfect length for us for daytime stories.

Anton and I have been reading this book at the breakfast table for the past two weeks and he almost knows it by heart. His favourite bit is finding the bear but he looses interest after the hunt is over!

We love this book!! We often hide Joseph's teddy and recreate the book in the living room hunting for teddy.

We didn't find that our son really enjoyed this book, perhaps he was a little too young when we first tried it with him at just over a year. He loves bears so the idea of hunting them and then being followed home by one doesn't really work for him! He loves rhymes and rhythms, but now he is older he tends to get a bit restless with all the repetition so we have chosen to read other books instead.

My Daughter Loves Doing All The Actions And Sounds To This Book It Is One Of Her Favorite Books

My 3yr old daughter loves this story. we have to read it to her every night. she likes it when they go through the grass. she has heard it that much she knows it word for word.

My 34 month old daughter loves this book. I hadn't read it to her because I thought it might be a bit scary but they read it at her nursery and she loves it. She likes shouting 'It's a bear!!'

This was a present my daughter received. She joins in the story and we are lucky to have an all action book so there are lots of tabs to create the swishy actions etc. we love it!

even though this book says its for toddlers i started reading this book to baby boy and he loved it and we did the voice to match each different part of the book and rekon this will become a family fav

This is such a fun book to read. There are so many sounds to make along the bear hunters' journey as they travel through long grass, sticky mud, and tricky forests.

Valentina loves this book.We've learnt it almost by heart now after reading it for I can't keep count of how many times! Val was introduced to this book at a Bookstart session here in Malta.

we really enjoyed reading this book together my son also read this book at nursery where they played out the different sounds that the mud grass etc made

this is one of our favourite books to read, lots of rhyming

My Children love me reading this book time after time,they never get bored of it.

My son has been read this book at nursery and ever since then, I have read it so many times, he does all the actions

both of my boys enjoy this book my eldest owen always brought this book home every week

Fabulous, fabulous book. I first came across it in my role as teacher - great book for in class. So I was so excited when my daughter turned out to love the story too. She helps herself to this book from the shelf regularly and loves the 'singsong' rhythm of the words. She also enjoys pointing out the dog and the baby on each page.

This is one of our all time favourites and can be re-enacted when we go walking across the fields too. he loves all the sound effects and actions that i make to accompany the singy-songy story, and we end up all snuggled under the duvet at the end.

My daughter, Beatrice (aged 5), said: 'I like it when the bear is chasing the family. I like it when they try and find the bear and they slam the door.'

my little one loves this story. we have the book with a dvd. when reading it, it becomes a whole role play experience as we pretend we're on a bear hunt going through the swishy grass or squelching through the mud. till were hiding in bed from the bear. the delight in giggles is enough to read this book over and over. a great book to bring alive a childs imagination.

MY SON HAS READ THIS BOOK AT HOME AND ALSO HAD IT AS A THEAME AT NURSERY HE REALLY ENJOYED READING THIS BOOK AND ALSO ENJOYED HAVING IT READ TO HIM HE LIKED READING IT TO HIS LITTLE BROTHER WHO ALSO ENJOYED LOOKING AT THE PICTURES

very exciting book and more fun if you act it out round the house on a pretend bear hunt.

This was recommended to me by a fellow mummy, who's three children all loved it and it hasn't disappointed. We just love to read!

We read this as a bed time story (oops) which perhaps wasnt such a good idea, my son is quite sensitive and didnt really appreciate the story at this time

I remember this book from when I was younger and Charlie who is 15 months loves looking at the pictures and he jigs along to the rhythm of the text as I am reading it. definately.one of our favourites.

My son, aged 2, loves joining in with the repetitive parts of this book and, when out for walks likes to recite it as we go through long grass, woods, mud etc. A great read and a real favourite of my sons and many of his friends

My son (2 and 1/2) has just recently started singing along to music and he loves singing along to the Bear Hunt DVD.

My 3 year old LOVES this story and his 4th birthday party is going to be themed..."We going on a bear hunt" It is a lovely story and all the kids love it.

Lovely sounds to read aloud, my 22-month-old loves it.

I read this book to my son all the time. Mainly because he requests it . He goes through some of the narrative and also enjoys watching the video that came with it. He runs around the house saying stumble trip and pretends to do this.

My 22 month old loves this book. Acting out all the scenes. Her favourite bit is when they are being chased back home and hide in bed.

My two little ones love this book (ages 2 and 1) my two year old loves following me around as I swish and stomp along with the story. A very exciting read for any parent and toddler.

My 9 month old loves this book. We read it at least once a week usually after his lunch.

We read this book every week together! It is a bedtime favourite.

My son loves this book. He gets all excited and tries to hide when we get to the bear!

Both my girls (aged 4 and 2) love this book.... they join in and get very excited and start to jump and run around pretending to run from the bear

This book has been read to our 4 month daughter both in the local library and at home. She listened intently and enjoyed the onomatopoeic words.
