We're Going on a Bear Hunt


"Going on a Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen and illustrated Helen Oxenbury, is a classic children's book that reads like a song or chant. During library we talk about different ways to tell a story, song and rhyme are really fun storytelling elements that we don't always see in picture books. With this particular children's book, once you know the words it is difficult not to sing along - or at very least hum!

Enjoy this animated story of "We're Going On A Bear Hunt" by Michael Rosen with illustrations by Helen Oxenbury taken from YouTube.
