 We're Going on a Bear Hunt February 6, 2010
Sacramento Book Review (Sacramento, CA)
"Join a father, his four children, and their dog as they go on a bear hunt. This story, based on the old camp chant "Bear Hunt," takes readers through the wavy grass, the cold river, the thick mud, a big forest, a whirling snowstorm, and a narrow cave, until finally...
The family quickly retreats and retraces their steps, with the bear following them the whole way. The gorgeous illustrations alternate from black and white to full watercolor paintings, in perfect rhythm with the roadblocks the family encounters on their journey and the ways they overcome them. Not only will children love the action in this story and the way it sounds as it is read, they'll love discovering more about the story in the detailed illustrations. This book is an adventure for all.

I love this book. As a parent who reads to her child most every night before bed, many childrens books are mind numbing and put "me" to sleep. We're going on a bear hunt keeps me entertained even if it has been a long day. Very few books, of this reading level, even ones I like, can do that! My daughter will participate and "read" along with me. Sometimes we add a bit here and there, a few extra swishes or wishes, and "poor bear looks sad at the end, he is all alone". We have this in a board book, but when I have extra funds I will get a hard back one to grow a bit with her. I keep meaning to check and see what else this author and illustrator offer.
I guess I'm off to do that now. You will not be disapointed with this one I believe.

This story is so much fun to read aloud. It is interactive and gives a parent lots of chances to be expressive and act out the various scenes. My daughter will bring this book up to us and hold it out asking us to read it. It is long but a blast for the reader and child.
This sure is fun December 29, 2009
