Book of the week 1

It's not a grown-up book I know, but I've been reading We're Going on a Bear Hunt at least ten times a day of late. Like many people, I know the rhyme from childhood but I hadn't realised it was written by one of Britain's best contemporary children's authors, and the current Children's Laureate. Logan loves it - the rhythm of Michael Rosen's story and the actions that go with it but also the wonderful illustrations by Helen Oxenbury.

YouTube has a wonderful video of Michael Rosen's personal rendition; buy it here, your toddlers will thank you.
