This is the original picture book for “Let’s Go Catch a Bear,” a song taught with rhythm in kindergartens and preschools.
The sentences are brisk and rhythmic, and as you turn the pages, you'll find yourself singing along with excitement. "Yahoo, let's go catch a bear." "Yahoo, this is exciting." On a sunny day, a family sets out on a bear hunt with the lightheartedness of a picnic.
I feel like I'm humming a tune out of excitement.
“What’s so scary about a bear?”

“Huh, we’re not scared at all.” We shout loudly and stride forward, but as we get closer to our destination, the realistic fear and dread grows.
That's why even the slightest rustling sound under my feet makes me flinch and prick up my ears.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Crunch! Whoosh! These sounds are impossible to hear on a regular basis in the ears of the bear hunter family, who are tense yet pretend not to notice.
This change in onomatopoeia has a much more dramatic effect than any number of words can ever describe the thrill of a heart-pounding bear hunt.
Finally, after passing through the forest, the river, the swamp, and even the blizzard, they crept quietly toward the cave where the bear was, but before they could even make out the bear's shape, they saw only its shiny nose, bushy ears, and gleaming eyes, and they ran away, saying, "Stop walking, save yourself!" Even the bravado of these bear hunters was quite amusing.

This picture book has all the advantages of a play picture book.
It is written in rhythmic sentences that children can sing along to and imitate the movements, and the changes in onomatopoeia that appear as seasoning really liven up the excitement.
First, the song “Let’s go catch a bear” is sung, and then the refrain “Oh! That’s it!” is repeated. This makes it great for singing a round song with the person reading the picture book, or for the whole family to stand in a circle and dance to the song together.
In addition, the black-and-white and color pictures are arranged alternately, making it easy to distinguish between active and resting parts.
The visual representation of the letters is also unique.
The font size of onomatopoeia starts small and then gradually increases.
It's as if they're moving cautiously at first, but then picking up speed and hurrying.
The cautiousness of the father who leads the way and the anxiety of the children who fall behind can be read even through the size of the letters.
