Why are They Going on a Bear Hunt?
Nothing in this books remotely makes sense. First, the family declares they are going on a bear hunt. This hunt takes them through all sorts of landscapes, for which all of them are badly prepared - wading through rivers, snowstorms with bare legs and hardly a coat among them, deep mud they could have certainly circumvented. Like what the *, mom & dad? When they finally encounter the bear they take one look at him… and promptly run away! What did these geniuses think was going to happen? And then the bear follows the m home, finds the door locked, and sadly walks away, like he was uninvited from a tea party at the last moment.
All of this is highly confusing.
- Why did they go on a bear hunt?
- If they knew the direction of the bear (and they seem to, as they walk straight from one locale to the next - why did they walk all the way, without even sensible shoes & coats?
- Why did they run back home at the first sight of the bear?
- Did the poor bear just want to be friends?
