Fantastic - By: V. A. Booth, 19 Jan 2008 
This is such a fun story. I have even used it on a teddy bear's picnic, getting the children to act out each part eventually finding a rather large teddy bear. Children of all ages love it.
Fantastic book - By: Ginger, 23 Nov 2007 
I have two small bilingual children with english being their second language. A very simple book which enables children to use their fantasy. They love this book, so much that my wife has had to translate it into swedish to keep them happy. We have been reading it for years. Everytime we head for a walk it is Bear Hunt time. We have both the large & travel version.
An ideal present for friends or relatives who are looking for a can't go wrong present.
We're going on a Bear Hunt - By: Felicity Roberts, 14 May 2007 
This is my children's favourite book. My daughter (now 4) was given it for her 1st birthday & has loved it from about 18 months. My son, now 2.5, has been read it since birth & they both adore it. Because it's so fantastically repetitive & poetic both of them can recite the whole thing without needing the book so we often recite it whilst going for walks. We even play "bear hunt" round the house. I think it's a fantastic introduction to beautiful poetic language as well as being a fun story. I have heard people say their kids found it frightening but neither of my children ever have - & my daughter is frightened of most things!
my daughter cried after this story - By: I. richards, 08 Jan 2007 
i bought this book because of the glowing reviews, however this is the first time my 3 yr daughter has been that upset after a story. the story is repetative & the bear doesn't appear to appreciate being disturbed nor does he look happy on returning home.
i wont be reading this book to my child again.
We're Going on a Bear Hunt - By: penelope pitstop, 13 Sep 2006 
This is a really great book & is my 3 year old's favourite. We have read it many many times & because of the repetitionin the book my daughter reads it along with me. We always look out for the bear now when we walk through the woods now to take her brother & sister to school & do the actions when we walk through grass etc. I also have the story CD of it that she can listen to when she goes to bed!
