Have you ever gone on a bear hunt? Come along on this one with a brave young family -- four children (including the baby) and their father. They're not scared. With them you will cross a field of tall, wavy grass (Swishy swashy!), wade through a deep, cold river (Splash splosh!), struggle through swampy mud (Squelch squerch!), find your way through a big, dark forest (Stumble trip!), fight through a whirling snowstorm (Hoooo woooo!), and enter a narrow, gloomy cave. WHAT'S THAT? You'll soon learn just what to do to escape from a big, furry bear!
With tremendous pace, humor, and verve, Michael Rosen has retold a favorite tractional story.
