Great Regulars: Where did you get the idea


for "Bear Hunt" come from?

That originally was either a song that the brownies used to sing or an American summer camp song, one or the other, nobody is quite sure which. A bit of it is quite like a folk song, somewhat like "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" I adapted it to make it work for a book and changed things round a bit and added a few things.

from Michael Rosen: Broadway World: Children's Laureate Michael Rosen
