A children's classic, for over 25 years readers have been swishy-swashying and splash-sploshing their way through this award-winning book. The story follows a family as they wade through the grass, splash through the river and squelch through the mud in search of a bear. A brilliant rhyming book that all children will love from the very beginning, right to the end when they discover the surprise that awaits them in the cave beyond the dark forest.
