This wonderful Harley Gallery exhibition features over 100 pieces of Helen Oxenbury’s work. There are well-known illustrations from We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, as well as the early version of this bestselling book which takes a very different approach of an actual ‘bear hunt’. It was Helen who suggested that it might work better if it was a family out on an adventure.
Opposite this in the gallery is Helen’s latest book with Michael Rosen called Oh Dear! Look What I Got which echoes their previous book together with it’s rhyme and warmth.
