What this book is about

Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury's beloved picture book follows a family on their bear hunt — through grass, a river, mud, a forest, a snowstorm, and finally the bear's cave — with the satisfying rhythmic repetition that young children love and the perfectly timed punchline they never tire of. One of the most beloved picture books in the English language.
