Theo enjoys it but isn’t there a song that goes with it？ Also， how do you make the sound for snow？

I don’t think that children should be taught that it’s ok to ‘hunt’ or ‘catch’ any kind of animal， but that aside， I can see how it’s an entertaining read for young kids。 I wanted to read this after reading the author’s book about his Covid experience， and we just happened to have a copy in our bookcase for our grandson。

Chyba nie przesadzę， jeśli napisze， że to najlepsza kartonówka jaką do tej pory miałam w rękach。 To śliczne zilustrowana， zabawna， tajemnicza i pełna dziecięcej ciekawości świata książeczka。 Widać， że autorzy nie zapomnieli， co to znaczy być dzieckiem。Zupełnie nie dziwi mnie fakt， że ta pozycja stała się klasyką angielskiej literatury dziecięcej - do głośnego czytania。 Michael Rosen jest wyjątkowym pisarzem - poetą。 Potrafi wykreować obraz teoretycznie abstrakcyjny， jak w przypadku rodziny， rodz Chyba nie przesadzę， jeśli napisze， że to najlepsza kartonówka jaką do tej pory miałam w rękach。 To śliczne zilustrowana， zabawna， tajemnicza i pełna dziecięcej ciekawości świata książeczka。 Widać， że autorzy nie zapomnieli， co to znaczy być dzieckiem。Zupełnie nie dziwi mnie fakt， że ta pozycja stała się klasyką angielskiej literatury dziecięcej - do głośnego czytania。 Michael Rosen jest wyjątkowym pisarzem - poetą。 Potrafi wykreować obraz teoretycznie abstrakcyjny， jak w przypadku rodziny， rodzeństwa （+ chyba tata）， które IDZIE NA NIEDŹWIEDZIA。 Jest to jednak， jak już zasugerowałam， jedynie teoretyczna abstrakcja， pod którą kryje się najprawdziwszy świat dziecka。 Rosen'a poznałam już wcześniej przy okazji mego ciągłego zachwytu nad ilustracjami Quentina Blake'a， który zobrazował wstrząsającą i niesamowicie piękną książkę Michaela SAD BOOK。 Oglądałam też film dokumentalny o twórczości tego wybitnego ilustratora， gdzie Michael Roson opowiadał o ich współpracy。 Lecz do czego zmierzam？ Do tego， że to świetny， utalentowany człowieka i jego opowiastki dla najmłodszych mają w sobie coś z przebłysku raju。IDZIEMY NA NIEDŹWIEDZIA zilustrowała Helen Oxenbury i zrobiła to w tak ujmujący， czuły sposób i jednocześnie w tak wysoce artystyczny， że nie sposób się nie zachwycić。 Mamy cześć rysunków czarno-białych， część kolorowych i to świetnie ze sobą współgra。 Kreska jest pewna i konsekwentna， a barwy zawsze rewelacyjnie oddają klimat。 Moje ulubione obrazy， to ostatni （nie zdradzę jaki， bo to tajemnica） i czarno-biały z groźną śnieżycą do pokonania。Bardzo wam polecam tę książeczkę。 Na początku może wydać wam się infantylna， bez sensu， ale na końcu zrozumiecie， że to fantastyczna przygoda i wieki figiel jaki "mądremu" dorosłemu może spłatać dziecięca wyobraźnia。chodźmy - już nie mogę się doczekać8/10Wydawnictwo Dwie Siostry 。。。more

Y si nos aventuramos a salir y si no podemos pasar por arriba o por abajo de nuestro problemas， debemos atravesarlos。 Una hermosa alegoría de cómo vamos cruzando por los distintos avatares de nuestra existencia y con el ímpetu como única guía。 Michel Rosen nos invita a pensar y reflexionar sobre cómo nos aventuramos en la vida y Helen Oxebery a través de sus dibujos a imaginar。 Una excelente lectura para realizarla en compañía de toda la familia。

A family goes on a walk with the intention of finding a bear。 They go through various changes in scenery with repetitive actions along the way to make the reader involved in the story。 What happens if you find the thing you were looking for？ It was a lovely story， just a pity that the cd that came with the book was nowhere to be find - the downside to not having a library at school。 I read this book to my class and they loved it。 I would recommend this book for children 4 years and upwards。

A family goes on a bear hunt。 Yes， you heard it， a bear hunt！ And that’s all they want to catch， a big one。 Wow！ They go through many obstacles， and they reach a cave。 Guess what？ They find a bear right there。 So， did they catch it？ And what did they do with it？The book is an excellent read-aloud in a classroom。 It will be super engaging。 The illustrations are whimsical， making you want to keep turning the pages。 We felt the book started off slowly， but we fell in love with the climax。A sing-alo A family goes on a bear hunt。 Yes， you heard it， a bear hunt！ And that’s all they want to catch， a big one。 Wow！ They go through many obstacles， and they reach a cave。 Guess what？ They find a bear right there。 So， did they catch it？ And what did they do with it？The book is an excellent read-aloud in a classroom。 It will be super engaging。 The illustrations are whimsical， making you want to keep turning the pages。 We felt the book started off slowly， but we fell in love with the climax。A sing-along treat for young children。Read the full review at Nothing But Picture Books。 。。。more

Super cute book of a family going off to hunt a bear， and what happens when they actually find the bear！ The illustrations are well-done and I love the family togetherness。 My problem is that I will be wondering about the bear's true intentions for the rest of my life！ Super cute book of a family going off to hunt a bear， and what happens when they actually find the bear！ The illustrations are well-done and I love the family togetherness。 My problem is that I will be wondering about the bear's true intentions for the rest of my life！ 。。。more

Add rhyme， rhythm， and repetition to virtually any content—even bear hunting—and kids are going to love it， especially with the funny-sounding onomatopoeia added for good measure。 The morality of such an ill-advised “family” adventure is another matter， as other reviewers have noted。 Oxenbury’s charming illustrations make all these bad decisions look so alluring。 Forget the fantasy of it all。 What dad in his right mind would take his family into that cave to disturb a bear in its den during hibe Add rhyme， rhythm， and repetition to virtually any content—even bear hunting—and kids are going to love it， especially with the funny-sounding onomatopoeia added for good measure。 The morality of such an ill-advised “family” adventure is another matter， as other reviewers have noted。 Oxenbury’s charming illustrations make all these bad decisions look so alluring。 Forget the fantasy of it all。 What dad in his right mind would take his family into that cave to disturb a bear in its den during hibernation and rationalize it as just another whimsical way to spend the day together？ And what is to become of the ravenous bear left to wander the desolate shores of its sleep-deprived discontent？ The luster of this glorified campfire song definitely grows dimmer with the passage of time。 。。。more

Another classic that was very good for developmental purposes。 Violet， my almost 3yo， had a great time with the concepts of over， under， and through。 Questioning the different scenarios。 As well as the emotions involved， like fear。

Classic picture book with a great use of onomatopoeia throughout。 Lovely for children to read for pleasure or could be used to spark interest in topic work with young children。
