"WE'RE Going on a Bear Hunt. We're going to catch a big one,” chant hundreds of pre-schoolers in this adaptation of Michael Rosen's award-winning children's picture book, with illustrations by Helen Oxenbury.

The live performance will come to Proserpine Entertainment Centre Whitsundays on Wednesday, September 6 for an 11am start.

From Australia's leading producer of high quality entertainment for kids and families including Possum Magic, Wombat Stew, My Grandma Lived In Gooligulch, Stripey - The Emu Chick and the latest sensation, There's A Hippopotamus On Our Roof Eating Cake, comes the international touring production of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, now with an all-Australian cast.

Receiving a four-star rating from both the Melbourne Herald Sun and Age newspapers in 2013, the show costs $20 for adults and $18 for children under-15.

We're Going on a Bear Hunt is the story of a family out for walk and on the lookout for a growling bear - they have to march through long swishy grass, wade through thick gloopy mud and even battle a snow storm before entering a big dark cave where maybe they will finally spot the glinty wet eyes of a slobbering, gigantic bear winking at them through the blackness.

Expect catchy songs, interactive scenes and plenty of hands-on adventure - plus a few special surprises.

This 55-minute mini-musical captures the fun and frolics of a father who is clearly still a child at heart, his three children, who include an intrepid bear-hunter-in-the-making-baby strapped to dad's back-pack, plus the family dog, and of course - a very cuddly bear!
