We're Going on a Bear Hunt - celebrating 30 years

We’re going on a bear hunt.
We’re going to catch a big one.
Will you come too?

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, the classic chant-aloud by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury, started a publishing phenomenon 30 years ago with readers swishy-swashying and splash-sploshing through this award-winning picture book favourite. Now with special 30th anniversary paperback and board book editions, this modern picture book classic can be enjoyed by a whole new generation of readers.

Walker Books have activities and resources perfect for brave hunters and bear lovers everywhere. You can see all of the resources on the We’re Going on a Bear Hunt website https://www.jointhebearhunt.com/.
