    Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing this video. I think I could watch Michael Rosen forever. He is so entertaining. I would love to see him perform in person. How fortunate the children in England who get to experience that. It must turn them onto to stories, books and storytelling for life. He is so captivating. It doesn't matter what he says, I hang on every word. And what a popular book Going on a Bear Hunt is. Thank goodness for the visionary at Walker Books who saw the potential.

      Thanks, Norah! It's a wonderful video, as is the one of Michael performing the whole thing himself.
