A Scathing Review of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, aka "The Children's Guide to Passive Suicide" Before we go any further, a little context:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWpzxz...There are plenty of children's books about self destructive impulses. In The Cat in the Hat, the children are seduced into destroying their entire house, which they know full well will result in mother's unbridled scorn. Franklin the Turtle is always doing stupid shit and then whining about it when he gets caught. I don't have a big problem with those books. They make sense to me because they follow three core principles: it's ok to depict kids doing dumb shit, because their mistakes are generally inadvertent. The mistakes characters make should teach children about human folly and the lessons we can glean from the err of our ways. Finally, rarely, if ever, are the parents depicted as condoning the child's self-destruction.Not so with this piece of shit. The parents lead their children gently by the hand right to the threshold of death's door. They take them to a bear's cave as he is, presumably, in the midst of hibernation, when bears are at their most pissed off and hungry. There are only two options that come to mind when I try to discern author intention here: this book is either a treatise for parents "tactfully" trying to get rid of their kids, or the first in a failed series of books, the overarching theme of which is "let's do stupid shit!"Yeah, they're going on a bear hunt, just like this zebra is going on a "lion hunt"Then there's the artwork. The artwork is impressionistic, evocative of my youth, particularly the memories I have of using the excrement in my diapers to paint on my bedroom walls. Much like the drawings in this book, I couldn't distinguish between the …

"We're going on a bear hunt.We're going to catch a big one.What a beautiful day!We're not scared."Bear Hunt, beautifully illustrated by Helen Oxenbury, is the British children's book author Rosen's most popular book, this Vietnamese edition one of the (more than, now?) fifteen dual language ones.A family of five (with a dog) embarks on a bear hunt, (without weapons). At first you can see this is just a family outing, it's all in fun, it's about spending a day in nature pretending they are going on a bear hunt, and Dad is all smiles, but as we proceed from the sea though the meadow, across a river and into the dark woods, Dad is more serious, that's a kind of subtle key. And then there's a blinding snowstorm they just have to get through and it appears somewhat like an allegory of a life together, from joys through challenges, if not quite (yet) sorrows (See Michael Rosen's Sad Book for that), and then they actually proceed into a dark cave to find a sleeping bear?! What can they do? Obviously they must run home, back (to review together, children, what we have read) through every landscape we have been through to get there, and safe in bed--lock the door!--and commit to never doing anything so foolish again! But I would go with them, again and again! Lovely.

We got this from the library a few times when mine were small. It was a nice enough story, the children I have read this too weren’t afraid of bears so couldn’t quite get into the full spirit of the story. When we got a dog we started picking up poos in the garden and started joking about this book, nobody wanted to do it so we turned it into a game, points based on how many you could find, ‘We’re all going on a poo-hunt, we’re not scared, sorry Michael. It popped into my head this morning whilst I was out with the spade.
