Reviews
"A dramatic and comic masterpiece... Beautifully produced, written and illustrated, this is a classic," The Independent on Sunday.
"A father and his four children--a toddler, a preschool boy and two older girls--go on the traditional bear hunt based on the old camp chant: ``We're going to catch a big one. / What a beautiful day! / We're not scared. / Oh-oh! Grass! / Long, wavy grass. / We can't go over it. / We can't go under it. / Oh, no! / We've got to go through it!'' The family skids down a grassy slope, swishes across a river, sludges through mud and, of course, finally sees the bear, who chases them all back to their home. It's a fantastic journey--was it real or imagined---with the family's actions (and interaction) adding to the trip a goodnatured, jolly mood...the ease with which the text can be shouted aloud make this ideal for families or groups to share."
