本篇故事讲述的是一家人去猎熊的故事， 本书句子押韵，并采用了孩子们喜闻乐见的反复的形式,书中一直在重复 We are going on a bear hunt. We are going to catch a big one. What a beautiful day！We are not scared.节奏轻快，韵律感十足。 本书采用的是黑白页和彩页的交替使用，当主人公陷入困境时，画者就把画面画成黑白；当主人公知难而进时，她就会画成彩色，在黑白页和彩页的交替中孩子感受到了主人公猎熊路上的兴奋以及遇到的困难，其实也是一种潜在的节奏，与文字的韵律配合，一次次把人的情绪推向高潮。
   故事中使用的大量的象声词，也增加了阅读时的乐趣，猎熊者一路穿过草地 （Swishy, Swashy! Swishy, Swashy! ），河流 (Splash, splosh! Splash, splosh!)，泥地 (Squelch, squerch! Squelch, squerch!)，森林 (Stumble trip! Stumble trip!)，暴风雪 （Hoooo woooo! Hoooo woooo!）,最后来到了熊居住的山洞 （Tiptoe! Tiptoe! Tiptoe!）。当他们见到熊，被熊追赶的落荒而逃，躲在被子里一起说 We are not going on a bear hunt again.，读到这里孩子们又被主人公的狼狈相逗得捧腹大笑。

这故事第一次看到不觉得多有趣，直到看了作者本人的讲读视频，才发觉它的好。
建议先听一遍音频，再看故事书，最后再看动画做配音哦！
祝您猎熊之旅愉快！
