We're Going on a Bear Hunt: A Celebratory Pop-Up Edition

32 pp. | Little Simon | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-3665-7 $24.99
New ed. (1989, McElderry)

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury. This pop-up does justice to the original. Because the story is so full of movement, it lends itself well to scenes popping up and tabs being pulled as the family ventures out on the bear hunt then races home. All of Oxenbury's marvelous illustrations are here, and the text is also complete, so the experience isn't lessened for the reader.
