We're Going on a Bear Hunt, 리듬 타고 떠나는 곰 사냥

오늘 서점에서 아들과 함께 바닥에 앉아 책을 읽었다. 학교에서 여러번 읽었는지 제법 혼자서 리듬감 있게 책을 잘 읽어 낸다. 한 장 한 장 반복되는 글밥이 운율이 있고, 의성어가 곁들여 있어 어린 아이들이 읽기에 좋아하는 책이다. 곰사냥은 커녕 헐레벌떡 도망쳐 길을 되돌아오는 가족들의 모습이 재미 포인트다. 간 길을 되돌아 오면서 다시 내용이 반복된다. 책을 반복해서 읽기를 좋아하는 아들은 꼭 동그라미를 다 모아서 이 책을 사고 싶단다. 저자가 읽어주는 유튜브 동영상과 아예 악보로 만들어 놓은 노랫말까지 있다.
