We're Going on a Bear Hunt

 * ... that Michael Rosen's award-winning children's picture book We're Going on a Bear Hunt started out as an American folk song?
 * ALT1: ... that Michael Rosen's award-winning children's picture book We're Going on a Bear Hunt was the text used to break the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Reading Lesson'?

 * Symbol question.svg Nice article about a classic, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I like the second hook better, but would put it the other way round:
 * ALT2: ... that We're Going on a Bear Hunt, Michael Rosen's award-winning children's picture book, was the text used to break the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Reading Lesson'?
 * or more mysteriously (readers will not click if they think you told them all):
 * ALT3: ... that We're Going on a Bear Hunt was the text used to break the Guinness World Record for the 'Largest Reading Lesson'?
 * In the article, try to format the poems using . --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yup, I really like ALT3; simple and likely to get folks clicking on the article. Just Chilling (talk) 01:38, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but noticed that the article doesn't give any details about the record-breaking lesson. I added those details from the source and would like to propose this alt hook:
 * ALT3a: ... that more than 30,000 children enabled the book We're Going on a Bear Hunt to break the Guinness World Record for the "Largest Reading Lesson"? Yoninah (talk) 21:14, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg thank you, both are fine with me. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:26, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm also happy but it was the 1,500 children that broke the record not the 30,000. Just Chilling (talk) 22:00, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Probably we are on safer ground using ALT3 ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:19, 9 February 2017 (UTC)
