Book Overview

Oh, a-hunting we will go,
A-hunting we will go;
We'll catch a fox and put him in a box,
And then we'll let him go! So begins this rollicking folk song that has delighted generations of children and inspired them to make up their own verses. John Langstaff has selected some of the most popular stanzas, both old and new, that are sure to bring out smiles and giggles. Nancy Winslow Parker's pictures join in the fun as a band of intrepid children hunt for the fox, a skunk, and even a brontosaurus with wildly silly results.
Piano and guitar accompaniment are provided so grown-ups can sing along, too. The playful mood of the words, music, and pictures is infectious -- you may even decide to add new verses of your ow

Oh, A Huntin' We Will Go

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 6, 2009

This picture book I call a Sing-a-Story. The song is in the back of the book. The whole story can be sung. Children will easily want to make up their own verses once they read and sing the story. This is an example how music can help with children's literacy.

Delightful and entertaining!

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 31, 2003

This is the favorite book of my 3 year old son! He not only sings it, but acts it out. The illustrations are very simple, childlike, and a little bit silly. As a teacher, I appreciate the value of the book for its rhyming words, and I think it's sweet that the author dedicated the book to the children who helped him complete the verses (and so dedicates it to every child who reads the book).

This is a great book. Very cute and fun for the young.

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 5, 1998

This is a wonderful book to help teach young children rhyming words. The illustrations are also very appealing to young ones. They especially like the fact that you can sing it as well as read it!
