"We're Going on a Bear Hunt"

A favorite childrens' book of ours, written by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.  Illustrated by Robin and Rue on their walk yesterday.

We're going on a bear hunt.  We're going to catch a big one.  What a beautiful day!   We're not scared.

Oh-oh!  A river! A deep, cold river. We can't go over it, we can't go under it. Oh, no! We've got to go through it!  Splash splosh! Splash Splosh! Splash Splosh!

We're going on a bear hunt. We're going to catch a big one.  What a beautiful day!  We're not scared.

Oh-oh!  Grass!  Short, pokey grass.  We can't go over it.  We can't go under it.  Oh, no! We've got to go through it. Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy!

We're going on a bear hunt.  We're going to catch  a big one.  What a beautiful day!  We're not scared.

Oh-oh! Mud! Thick, oozy mud.  We can't go over it.  We can't go under it.  Oh-no! We've got to go through it!  Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch! Squelch Squerch!

We're going on a bear hunt.  We're going to catch a big one.  What a beautiful day!  We're not scared.

Oh-oh!  What's that?  One shiny wet nose!  Two big furry ears!  Two big goggly eyes!  It's a...

BEAR!!!

We're not going on a bear hunt again.
