we're going on a bear hunt
five children and their dog go out to hunt a bear. they travel through grass, a river, mud, a forest and a snowstorm before coming face to face with a bear in its cave. this meeting causes panic and the family run home, across all the obstacles, followed by the bear. finally, the children lock the bear out of the house and all hide under the duvet saying "we're not going on a bear hunt again." at the end of the book, the bear is pictured trudging disconsolately on a beach at night, the same beach that is shown on a sunny day as the frontispiece. most of the illustrations were painted in watercolour. however, the six pictures of the children facing a new hazard are black and white drawings.
