Product description

Michael Rosen’s best-loved bear is 25 years old. (But not too old to chase you away.) Here’s the perfect picture book for all you brave readers who love a bearish adventure. Join a family outing through the long wavy grass, the thick oozy mud and the swirling, whirling snowstorm. Do you think you’ll find a bear today? Clue: you’d better be ready to run away! We always love Michael Rosen, but never more than when we’re reading this muddy, swishy-swashy, noisy classic. Can you rhyme it as loud as we can?

“A dramatic and comic masterpiece.” The Independent on Sunday

Michael Rosen

Photo of Michael Rosen

Michael Rosen was born into a London Jewish family, the son of two distinguished educators – Connie and Harold Rosen. Michael’s childhood was rich in books, stories and conversation.

Michael attended Middlesex Hospital Medical School for a year but transferred to Wadham College, Oxford to study English Literature. At Oxford, he started to realise his ambition of acting (as well as writing and directing). Michael still says that if he wasn’t a poet, he’d like to be an actor. Anyone who has seen him in performance knows that he already is!

The narrowness of his course of study proved a source of dissatisfaction and Michael began looking outside his recommended reading to contemporary working, class ballads. He retains a passion for street rhymes, popular songs and folk stories.

Michael Rosen has been writing poetry since the age of 18. His first collection, Mind Your Own Business, was published in 1974. Although it was not planned as a collection for children, it appeared on Andre Deutsch’s children’s list. This, says Michael, was a turning point – “Suddenly it all fused: the writing, the performing, the popular audience. It was just incredibly exhilarating.”

He quickly made a name for himself with his collections of humorous verse and picture books for children. He is described as one of the most significant figures in contemporary children’s poetry, drawing closely on his own childhood experiences, and ‘telling it as it was’ in the ordinary language children actually use.

Michael is now a poet, author and broadcaster, and was Children’s Laureate from 2007-2009.
