I see what you mean about bears. I always say 'Oh poor bear, he only wanted to play blah blah' at the end.

my money's on the bear

Like it, and DS loves it.

But I liked the original version without book, when it was just a rhyme, to be done in a circle with pre-schoolers, all slapping their knees (anyone with me on this?)

But then it went all PC and the gun bit got deleted.

It doesn;t sound quite right now.
