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!

Storia simpaticissima, che si presta benissimo ad essere drammatizzata, grazie alle onomatopee e alle ripetizioni. Pagine grandi e ordinate, carina anche la copertina con l'effetto neve!

The media could not be loaded.
 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.
