We're Going on a Bear Hunt

We're Going on a Bear Hunt by Michael Rosen has been one of my favorite children's books for as long as I can remember. When I was an early childhood teacher's aide about five years ago, we read it every morning as part of circle time. The kids loved it because it was repetitious and fun. We made up actions to go along with the story and the kids really got involved. After a few weeks, every kid in the class could "read" the whole story by themselves.

Scholastic offers an online lesson plan for use with this book. The DLTK-kids website has several bear crafts that would go along with the book as well.

I recommend We're Going on a Bear Hunt to teachers, daycare providers, and parents of young children. You will not be disappointed. Your children will love it and so will you!
