## About this book

Oh Dear, Look What I Got! is the first volume in the award-winning series of the same name by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury. This children's picture book marks another rhyming classic from the creators of We're Going on a Bear Hunt, combining Rosen's playful verse with Oxenbury's expressive illustrations. Winner of a British Book Award, the book invites young readers to chant along with a cumulative, laugh-out-loud shopping trip.

A simple errand for a carrot spirals into a chain of animal surprises when the narrator receives a parrot instead. The refrain 'Oh dear, look what I got! Do I want that? No I do NOT!' repeats as each shop visit brings a new, unexpected creature. Children can guess the next animal and join in the rhythmic text, leading to a satisfying and cheerful final twist. This picture book encourages participation and celebrates absurdity, making it a lively read-aloud choice.
