BOOK REVIEW: Oh A-hunting We Will
Go illustrated by Sylvia Ion. Our version of this
traditional song begins with three children setting out to hunt
down an imaginary fox inspired by a pull-toy. Their
adventure begins by marching with their non-violent weapons, a
plunger, a flashlight and a cardboard tube through which to spy.
While one child struggles to release his misfired plunger from
the side of the page, the fox is spotted. After sitting in
a music box, the imaginary fox trots off uprightly, waving to
his friends as he exits. But it doesn't stop there.
The next verse finds our children marching off to go fishing.
They were obviously inspired by their pet goldfish in the bowl
which one child carries. Another child carries a fishing
pole with a musical note tied to the end of the line for bait.
Perhaps she will lure the fish to her with music. While
fishing in the imaginary flat area of water on the floor, they
catch an enormous gold fish. After splashing in a dish,
the giant fish trots off uprightly, waving good-bye to his
friends with his fin. Even the pet goldfish waves good-bye
to his larger counterpart.
