The bestselling picture book We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is now available as a board book. Sure to win new fans among the very youngest readers, this tale of a brave family’s joyous romp through sweeping landscapes is the perfect addition to this classic board book series. 

有一户人家，趁着好天气要去捉狗熊，他们经过了高大摇摆的野草、又凉又深的河水、又深又黏的烂泥、好大好深的树林、又急又大的风雪、又窄又暗的山洞，终于在山洞里发现一只狗熊，然而他们一见到巨大的狗熊，马上回头跑回洞口、跑回风雪中、跑回树林里、跑回烂泥地、再跑回野草地，然后打开自家大门，跑进卧房，盖上被子，吓得再也不敢去捉狗熊了。

A father and his four children—a toddler, a preschool boy and two older girls—go on the traditional bear hunt based on the old camp chant: “We’re going on a bear hunt. / We’re going to catch a big one. / What a beautiful day! / We’re not scared. / Oh-oh! Grass! / Long, wavy grass. / We can’t go over it. / We can’t go under it. / Oh, no! / We’ve got to go through it!”

The family skids down a grassy slope, swishes across a river, sludges through mud and, of course, finally sees the bear, who chases them all back to their home. It’s a fantastic journey—was it real or imagined? —with the family’s actions (and interaction) adding to the trip a goodnatured, jolly mood. The design of the oversized volume alternates black-and-white drawings with gorgeous full-color watercolor paintings, which Oxenbury uses to wonderful effect. Readers accustomed to her board books will find a different style here, of puddled colors and sweeps of light and shadow. The scale of the pictures and the ease with which the text can be shouted aloud make this ideal for families or groups to share.
