A world record attempt to celebrate 25 years of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ by Michael Rosen!
I can’t actually believe that ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ – the classic rhyming tale of a family’s adventure to find a bear – is 25 years old. Although it’s still not quite old enough to have been a book from my own childhood *cough cough* 😉 it still feels as though it’s been a […]

It follows the antics of Sidney and Stella, twins who like to do everything together except that hardest of Very Hard Things – sharing.
