Book Review

Oh Dear, Look What I Got!
by Michael Rosen, Helen Oxenbury (illus.)

by Kate McIntosh, Aug 2025

From the instantly recognisable duo who gave us We’re Going on a Bear Hunt comes a brand-new delight. When you go to the shop to buy a carrot, the last thing you want instead is a parrot. When you buy a coat, did you really want a goat? No, you did not! What about when you ask for a cake, and they give you a snake?!

Reminiscent of other classics such as Don’t Forget the Bacon and Dear Zoo, this is one that will be read over and over and over again for many years to come. Just look at that cover, and already you know it will be everyone’s favourite book – the one most requested at bedtime, the one that needs to be started over again as soon as you get to the end, and the one on everyone’s Christmas list this year. For ages 2+.
