We are going on a bear hunt

October 19th 2007

Today we went to Borders at the Curve. He was only interested in one book - "We are going on a Bear Hunt" with pop up pages. Unfortunately, the story book cost Rm90.... 90 ringgits!.. that's daylight robbery.! But I loved the pop up pages that can make the figures move around. It makes story telling very fun =D (Yeah.. is the book for Mummy or for Sean?)

But I can foresee the books not lasting very long in Sean's hands. All I can say is that he's a boy... a messy, rough and ready to tumble boy. I might get the board book version which cost Rm33, but I still think it's expensive. It's such a cute story though and it has really nice illustrations (yeah.. mummy likes the pictures) =D



We're going on a bear hunt.
We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.

Uh-uh! Grass!
Long wave grass.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.

Oh no!
We've got to go through it!

swishy swashy!
swishy swashy!
swishy swashy!

We're going on a bear hunt.

Uh-uh! A river!
A deep cold river.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.

Oh no!

Uh-uh! Mud!
Thick oozy mud.
We can't go over it.

Squelch! Squerch!
Squelch! Squerch!
Squelch! Squerch!

We're not scared.

Uh-uh! A forest!
A big dark forest.

Hoooo woooo!

We're going on a bear hunt.
We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.

Uh-uh! A cave!
A narrow gloomy cave.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.

Oh no!
We've got to go through it!

Tiptoe!
Tiptoe!
Tiptoe!
WHAT'S THAT?

One shiny wet nose!
Two big furry ears!
Two big goggly eyes!

Back through the mud! Squelch squerch! Squelch squerch!
Back through the river! Splash splosh! Splash splosh!
Back through the grass! Swishy swashy! Swishy swashy!

Get to our front door.
Open the door.
Up the stairs.

Oh-no!
We forgot to shut the door.
Back downstairs.

Shut the door.
Back upstairs.
Into the bedroom.

Into bed.
Under the covers.

We're not going on a bear hunt again.

Hi AJ,

No I still haven't bought the book yet. Every time I see it, I'll show it to Sean. He's not interested yet. He's always interested in some other book. So until now we still haven't bought it.

Try Borders at the Curve.
