am i a lone in my intense hatred of that " we are going on a bear hunt" book?

[messagedeleted]

i cant stand it
ds3loves it

er nothing to fear about bears?
except they can be a bit, you know, deadly and so on can't they
is that a myth?
have I been taken in by evil anti-bear propaganda?
are they all really guardian reading pinko peaceniks, then?

have just got hte rascally cake from amazona s soemone on here recommended it
am saving for ds3s THIRD borthday comign up soon!

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

No seriously, the original words were

"We're going on a bear hunt
I'm not scared
I've got my gun by my side

We're coming to a river (or whatever)
Can't go over it..etc"

It was like an action rhyme.

This was in the 70's, when PC hadn;t been invented.

We love it in our house. Have the extra large paperback version and a small hardback version.

the rascally cake

rules

'nothing to fear about bears'

lol

I want to see that film about that guy who thought bears were unfairly treated and went to live with the Grizzlies.

he got eaten

god yes thats sounded gre=im
ok so rscally cake is good
then good

Bears definitely deadly. See that new Werner Herzog fillum about the bloke who went off to live with and film bears, glorious harmony with nature, et cetera...and then they ate him. With the sound still running.

Evil buggers, bears, I reckon.

ok but hte book is crap

yes brill

dd2 won't have it in her room she is too scared of it though

all boys (and dd1) seem to love it though as it is wilfully yuck

dd2=poof?

we dream of Bear Hunt in this house
we are in a phase of Dinsey Winnie the Pooh Golden TReasury books that some GIT gave us
all sickly Americanisms and moralistic messages
and so looooooong too
story time is queasy time

hate the bearhunt book
love the gurffalo
love smartest giant in town (and all the other books by that author)

massive poof and a weedy wet

Oi - it's only natural - it's our sine qua non, it's what we do. Don't go attaching some human emotion/conscience malarkey to it. Evil and bugger are very strong words. My advice to you: if you go down to the woods today, you'd better not go alone.

The bloke who got eaten was a nutter though. His girlfriend got eaten too. She was probably a nutter as well.

looking forward to the film though

lol

The worst children's books of all are Rev. Awdry's Thomas ones. How I loathe those books. Gruffalo and Bear Hunt are fantastic in comparison.

What about Room on the Broom? I've read this so many times that I find myself putting every other story to rhyme afterwards.

love love love
she can do no wrong imo

love room on a brrom
snail and the whale
smartest giant
etc etc

smartest giant is my utter fave

I love him

and his paper crown at the end makes me want to weep

only cos he looks liek our dhs
