Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
With interesting stories, brisk rhythms, and fresh pictures, this immersive paper adventure allows you to share with your children the excitement and thrill of catching bears.
A family took advantage of the good weather to catch a bear. They passed through tall swaying weeds, cold and deep rivers, deep and sticky mud, huge and deep woods, strong and violent snowstorms, and narrow and dark caves. Finally, they found a bear in the cave. However, as soon as they saw the huge bear, they immediately turned around and ran back to the cave entrance, back into the snowstorm, back into the woods, back into the mud, and back into the weeds. Finally, they opened their own door, ran into the bedroom, covered themselves with quilts, and were so scared that they dared not catch bears again. The whole book is presented in the form of rhymed poetry recitation, which is catchy to read and suitable for the whole family to read together.

Illustrator: Helen Oxenbury, one of the most popular children's book illustrators, was born in Suffolk, England in 1938, the daughter of an architect. She studied theater design at the Central School of Art in London. She spent three years in Israel as a scenery painter and designed for the Habenik Theater in Tel Aviv. In 1979, Helen won the Kate Greenaway Award for her book "Wanger's Hat and the Dragon of the Ordinary House". In 1999, she re-illustrated Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderful Looking Glass", which won her a second Kate Greenaway Award. She was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal four times in 1988, 1991, 1993 and 1994 for We Go Bear Hunt, Farmer Duck, The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig and So Much.
In 1964, Helen married John Burningham, a picture book artist. Burningham also won the Kate Greenaway Award twice. They have three children. She started to create picture books after she got married and had children. Helen paid special attention to picture books: "Let children get in touch with picture books as early as possible, because this is a stepping stone for their future reading and learning." She believes that today's children are very familiar with visual images, illustrations can help them reduce their fear of words, and picture books are tickets to help children enter the world of books.
