Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Customer Reviews

A favorite in my house!

My 2.5 years old nephew, Zack, absolutely LOVES this book. He has practically memorized the whole book and sings it all the time! The book, which is filled with beautiful illustrations by Eric Carle, teaches young children the names of animals and colors. For instance, that book goes, "Brown bear, Brown bear, what do you see? I see a Red Bird looking at me. Red bird, red bird, what do you see? I see a yellow duck looking at me!" The last page has little pictures of all the animals in the book, and I use this page to ask my nephew what each picture is. He gets them all right every time! This is a fun book because of the rythm and the colorful illustrations. I recommend this book for ages 2-5. Heck, I recommend it for ages 2-100 because it is a cute little book! I highly recommend it to all parents because it is a great learning tool and a fun book!

Another Classic From Carle

I've had three children who fell in love with this book around age two. It does a wonderful job of teaching colors, animals and rhyme to toddlers.

Aided by Carle's unique illustrations, this book begs to be chanted by the parent who will be reading it for the umpteenth time. ("Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see? I see a red bird looking at me. Red bird, red bird, what do you see? I see a ....." etc., etc.) The cadence and rhythm of the words have fascinated my youngsters as they learn to identify different colored animals populating the pages of the book. Strictly a teaching tool, the book does not have a story per se, but it seems to be just right for the child who is just beginning to discover the larger world.

Great For First Storytimes

This book is a great first book to read to baby. The text is rythmic and the illustrations are bold, simplistic, and big enough to attract young babies' attention. My son, at 4 months, enjoys this book.
