Based on the book by Michael Rosen & Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury

A family go on an expedition of a lifetime – running down the grassy bank, wading through the cold river, squelching over the oozy mud, stumbling into the dark forest, then peering into a cave… what will they find there?

Little Angel Theatre brings Michael Rosen’s thrilling and funny adventure to life in this entrancing puppetry production. This production is ideal for brave hunters and bear lovers alike.

Age Guidance 

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt is aimed at ages 3-8. Our shows for this age group have storylines that can be followed and enjoyed by 3-4-year olds, but may also use slightly more complex ideas, humour, dialogue or song lyrics that older children will get more out of. There is nothing really scary in these shows but they can be a bit more dramatic than those for the youngest children, including in their use of sound and lighting, and characters may face some perils.

How does it link to the curriculum?

English: Picture books, author study, story settings and descriptions, onomatopoeia, traditional tales from around the world
Science/Geography: Natural environments

The world is a very big place, especially for a tiny baby penguin who is just finding his feet.
