Going on a Bear Hunt

I can still hear my mom’s voice reading Horton Hatches an Egg. I loved, and still do, the illustrations in Gyo Fujikawa’s Oh, What a Busy Day! I used to stare at the page that had the secret spot picture and imagine myself in there. It’s fun to see what books Talmage enjoys. One of his favorites is We're Going on a Bear Hunt. He’ll often quote the repeated phrase, “Oh no! We’ve got to go through it!” (except his version is like this – in hurried, panicked meter: “Oh no! Go through it!”). Today, we went on an actual bear hunt at a local park. Here is a picture of him approaching a cave...
“A narrow, gloomy cave..."

"...Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe."


What book do you wish you could live in real life?

Talmage is a serious Bear Hunter...Bears Beware! My first favorite book that I memorized and could turn the pages on queue so that it appeared that I was reading it, was Katie the Kitten(a Golden Book). Some of Briton's favorites were A Trip to the Zoo and Richard Scarry's stories. I would like to live any of the Nancy Drew books and find clues and solve mysteries...or any of Victoria Holt's strong 19th century British heroines in her romantic suspense novels. Yeah, I think I read about 15 or more of them in the '70s.
