Beautifully produced, written and illustrated, this is a classic work for any age at any period. The Independent on Sunday With such a partnership, how can this gorgeous great picture-book rhyme fail? The Guardian Lovely to read aloud and beautiful to look at. The Sunday Times It's a special book and it just never gets old. Gurgle


The familiar cumulative game is played by four children, along with their father and their dog, at the typically British beach pictured on the lovely, expansive first endpaper. The children's real activities are shown in b&w drawings; the imaginative doings appear in full color. Although some of the color pages show perfectly possible events, most are clearly fantasy, suggesting just how close the two may be in children's minds. The family ends up in safe retreat in one big cozy bed; the bear is seen - on the second essential, beautiful endpaper - headed into a gloomy sea. Oxenbury's splendid watercolors and drawings perfectly evoke both landscape and the members of the questing family. A handsome edition of an old favorite. (Kirkus Reviews)
