This beloved picture book, based on a traditional chant, follows a family's adventurous journey through diverse natural landscapes in search of a bear. With its highly repetitive text and engaging onomatopoeia, children will delight in chanting along as the family encounters grass, a river, mud, a forest, and a snowstorm, before a surprising face-to-face encounter with a bear leads to a frantic dash back to the safety of home. It's an excellent book for developing language skills, memory, and exploring themes of bravery and overcoming mild fears.
Better beginning booklist. Highly Recommended. 0-3 yrs.
