Good quality
Sturdy book and actually good size— good quality overall. My toddler and I love reading this book. We get animated while reading it. Good book to learn some of the prepositions for the kids like over , under, through. The story consist of a family going through obstacles and saying that they cant go over it, they cant go under, we have to go through it — just like life we have to go through some obstacles and we just have to go through it. I am not fond of chasing the bear part but it could be use figuratively and at the end of the day, you use parental guidance.

My favorite young children's book. It's so fun to read, to make it big and scary or funny and silly... it's all how you read it per the kid or the day. Simple enough they can finish the sentence for you and a book that get's asked to be read over and over. Hands down favorite in our family. We've gifted this book many times!

5.0 out of 5 stars A good time for the whole family/classroom

This book is a classic! I purchased the book to use for a Music And Movement class with children under the age of five. You definitely want to know the rhythm of the chant (with the repeats), but once you do, it's so much fun as a participation story! Act out each page take your classroom or just your kids at home on a "bear hunt" tackling each obstacle along the way. It was absolutely a hit in our class class, and it is regularly requested by my three-year-old at home! Almost the entire story, and likes to switch and be the leader with mom, dad and brother echoing him!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hardcover might be a pop up book
Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2020

I didn’t realize the hardcover was a pop up “snow globe edition. I would have preferred a simple book. I absolutely love this book, and have owned it before. My kids tore up our paper edition through use, so I repurchased the hardcover thinking it would be sturdier. It is a pop up, and it’s beautiful, but I’m just worried it will be fragile. I’m keeping it but I’d have preferred a sturdy copy to a pretty copy.

For those that said that the story is boring...we do a lot of hand motions to make it fun and they LOVE it. We clap to the beat. We stomp through the “mud” and we pretend to splash our feet through “the river”. We fall down through “the forest” and we always end the book by covering our heads with a blanket like we are hiding from a bear.

The storyline of “hunting a bear” doesn’t bother me. It’s a story about a family going for a walk while pretending to hunt for (look for) a bear, not expecting to find one. They’re not trying to literally hunt down a bear. When they do accidentally find a bear the family in the story run back through the terrain they’ve just come through. For my kids, that means we get to stomp, fall over, splash, etc all over again, but quickly the second time through as the family in the story runs home. All 4 of my kids have loved it from about age 2 on up. It’s a fun story if you use your imagination and make it fun.

 Mi cuento favorito y el de mis alumnos. Es un cuento largo, que se puede contar cantado también siguiendo la famosa canción. Yo compré la versión pop up y aunque el precio es más elevado, merece la pena porque es mucho más llamativo.
Me parece un cuento muy versátil que se puede utilizar para una amplia franja de edades.
