Description
Michael Rosen has taken an old children's rhyme, and turned it into a picture book for young children, with watercolour illustrations by Helen Oxenbury.
- "We're going on a bear hunt.
- We're going to catch a big one.
- What a beautiful day!
- We're not scared."

Thoroughly enjoyable as a bogey picking event, especially if you join in all the traditional actions, or you march around the room reciting the poem again after you've finished reading it.

It is a great story about a family who go on a journey though obstacles such as long wavy grass and a wide river to look for a bear. All the way through they say that they are not scared but when faced with the big scary bear they are sent running all the way home back through all the obstacles.
There is a variety of educational uses for this book. Firstly science, you can try and get them to think about what may live in the different places. The book could form the basis or art they could draw the places or make their bear. In English they could use this to right their own story about a fear they have or to write a different ending. This then could link into PSHE where they could discuss fear, what to do if they are scared, where they can go to get help, what may scare others and also flipping it the other day did they need to be scared maybe the bear just wanted to be a friend. You could use it as part of your music, drama and PE lessons too.
I think this book is a must for all going into KS1 and foundation.
