Every child knows this story -- now you can read it to your child in Chinese too! It's never easy going on a bear hunt, as five prospective hunters soon find out. Four children and their Dad set out, fearlessly, on a beautiful day, to find a bear. They cross a field of a long grass, wade through a deep cold river... and creep into a narrow cave. But - oh! -- what's that fearful creature up ahead? A great book every child will enjoy! Beautifully illustrated with colorful pictures, this book is written in Traditional Chinese characters and English or Simplified Chinese characters ONLY. Ages 4-8.
Here is a review from one of our customers Elizabeth Yu: "My two children have had the original English version of this picture book on their shelves since they were little. How wonderful that it is now translated into Chinese. The story recounts the obstacles a family encounters while on a bear hunt. We are not sure whether the bear they seek is real or imaginary till the surprising ending. The Chinese translation retains the catchy phrasing and rhythm of the original story. Readers may decide whether to read the whole book first in Chinese and then in English, or to go from page to page reading in both languages concurrently. Children and adults alike will appreciate the gentle watercolor illustrations by noted illustrator Helen Oxenbury."
