About the book:

Celebrate the joy of books and reading with this twist on a favourite song, ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’.

Three children are off on a hunt for the perfect book! But first they’ve got to get through the noisy, cheerful playground, a sprinkly, splattery fountain, a chatty, clattery cafe and then choose from HUNDREDS of books! Will they each find the perfect book? This joyful follow-up to We’re Going on a Pumpkin Hunt, We’re Going on a Present Hunt and We’re Going on an Egg Hunt is filled with cute characters and imaginative surprises! Repeated phrases and sound words make this an interactive board book, great for sharing with the whole family at story time.

Perfect for fans of the classic song ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’, made famous by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury.

Get your hands on a copy!
