What is the "Oh no!" at the end of the song for? Is that for the kids to fill in the blank? or for imagination/discussion? Or is it a mistake?

This was written by Michael Rosen, this is the correct version. I however would not say that the version you sing is wrong as that would be ignorant as interpretations should be embraced and enjoyed.

Thanks so much for posting this. This is the version I remember from Brownies, 30 years ago, parts of which are still in my head. A school I was relieving at had the book version, which didn't fit right as it was slightly different from the version I grew up with.

This is Funny Songs for Kids, the reading of We're Going on a Bear Hunt reading the story instead of sing-song.

Fun ways of involving children from two to five years old. Also more learning will be taking place in all around the seven areas of children's development such as PSED,CL,LD,MD,KUW,EA&D.

Hey thxs for posting this. I actually used it as a draft of the story. It's my dad's birthday tomorrow and I wrote him a story called 'The Toblerone Hunt' along the same kind of lines as The Bear Hunt! I hope he enjoys it. He used to read it to me as a kid. I don't know where the book is, somewhere safe probably. (PS. A toblerone is a type of chocolate if you were wondering)
