      My very favorite Bill Martin Jr. book, and a go-to read for rainy days, boredom, or just needing a good read.
    • 5/5
      This is a great book that teaches kids so many things.Kids will learn about different type of animals and they will also learn about colors.
    • 5/5
      Brown bear is a story that has been around for ages but it is still a classic. The rhyme scheme of the story is very catching. It teaches color as well as animals. The book is uniquely illustated. I would recommend this book for children PreK-K.
    • 4/5
      This is a good book for younger audiences, maybe kindergarten. There are many animals and the author is asking them all what they see and they respond with the next animal - this makes it predictable.
    • 5/5
      5starP. Infants (individual/group), toddlers (group or individual) and preschool (individual). Rhyme, repetition, sequence and color exploration.
    • 4/5
      Various animals in various colors. Simple, with beautiful illustrations by Eric Carle (of The Little Hungry Caterpillar) and great rhymes.
    • 5/5
      I really love this book. I read it to the toddlers I teach at my job. It is a great board book because it has repetition that the kids are able to learn and start rhyming as they listen and I read along. They are also able to guess what animal is coming up next based on the color hint the book gives before the next page. Kids are able to learn rhymes, and predict what happens next in the story.
    • 5/5
      I think the illustrations of this book are super good for early elementary-aged kids since they are simple yet really show the different types of animals.
    • 5/5
      Simple board book with colors and animals.
    • 4/5
      Classic. I'd rather the surprise conclusion was more than a teacher, but her class was diverse and there was indeed a plot! Lots of colors and animals, very easy to follow.
    • 3/5
      A classic preschool picture book with a simple, patterned rhyme. Great for learning animals and colors.
    • 5/5
      Beautiful. Just Beautiful. The best book I have ever read.

      Brow Bear Brown Bear What do you see was written by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Eric Carle. It was published in 1996 by Henry Holt and Co. This book is about all different animals and does a good job pulling the reader in by asking questions. This book would be a great book to read to little ones because the reader can ask the child the questions and get the child to answer. This book even promotes language and cognitive development. Another great part of the book is the illustrations. The illustrations are by the well known illustrator Eric Carle and are fun and interesting to look at. They are the perfect touch for the book. When I read this book to the little girl I babysit she asked me to read it over and over again to her. Once I had read the book to her a few times she had basically memorized what each page said and started reading it to me. I think this says a lot about the book and how great it is. I strongly recommend reading this book.
    • 4/5
      I think this book is easy to follow and the text flows well. The pictures are beautiful and colorful. I think a small child such as a toddler or preschooler would be able to follow the story.
    • 4/5
      This is a great book for younger students and I have enjoyed reading this book for many years. The main idea of this story is to show different animals and what they see. I liked the story because it can teach young students different colors and animals. The illustrations in the story are also very interesting and detailed, young children are engaged by the creative illustrations. The book's story line does not stray from naming animals and colors, the repetitious pattern keeps children of young ages engaged and wondering what is going to come next.
    • 5/5
      This book has wonderful worth as a read-aloud teaching the sequence of events to young readers. It's illustrations are colorful and beautiful as well.
    • 4/5
      A brown bear tells what he sees. He sees a red bird looking at him. All the way from a brown bear to a group of children. All of the children describe the colors and the animals that they see.
    • 4/5
      This is a great book for younger students and I have enjoyed reading this book for many years. The main idea of this story is to show different animals and what they see. I liked the story because it can teach young students different colors and animals. I am also a huge fan of the illustrations in the story. Although the book's story line does not stray from naming animals and colors, the repetitious pattern keeps children of young ages engaged and wondering what is going to come next. All in all, this book is a timeless classic and a read that children will remember for years to come.
    • 4/5
      Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see? has quickly become a classic for younger children. The rhythm of the book as it is read makes it fun to read and follow along with. This story allows the reader to identify a variety of animals and their colors. The pictures and simplicity of it make it easy to identify animals on each page. The book would be great in a kindergarten classroom to help students use the illustrations to tell about a story.
    • 5/5
      Brown Bear, Brown Bear is a cute book that is great for the classroom. I remember reading this book as kid. The pictures are great and really pop on the white background. The book is an easy concept book that rhymes and has the big idea of learning colors. The book is repetitive and fun for young kids to read aloud and learn from.
    • 3/5
      Note: I read the Kindle edition. I chose to read this book in digital format because I was curious to see how the artwork and book structure could be adapted to a digital device. Obviously, users with black-and-white-only Kindles will not be able to engage with this book. One must have a Kindle Fire or Kindle iPad app to see the colors -- a key component of the story! Using a device capable of displaying color, readers will enjoy the same classic Eric Carle style artwork. Overall, I would recommend this book format for people who are committed to having books in digital format. However, given the target audience's age, very young children will benefit from the tactile features of a physical book. Additionally, this format may be challenging to use in a group setting. Librarians or educators may prefer sharing this book in "big book" form for maximum visibility.
    • 5/5
      Not only teaches about colors but also animals. Different perspectives
    • 4/5
      This book is very enjoyable for young children and it is a classic book that every child should read. The author basically introduces different animals to the reader. The pictures were great in this book because they were vibrant and each animal was clearly depicted. In addition, the animals were very realistic looking. The writing was very repetitive in this book and there was a lot of rhyming. "Brown bear brown bear what do you see? I see a red bird looking at me." This is a goo book for beginning readers and the author was very successful with the creation of this book.
    • 5/5
      this book helped me learn to read, taught me animals and colors
    • 5/5
      Colorful, it's perfect!
    • 4/5
      There are three reasons I like "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" First, the illustrations in the book allow young students who are learning how to read visualize the words they are saying. For example, along with "Red Bird, Red Bird, What do you see?" there is a red bird to show the students what they look like. Second, the writing and language in the book is simple, making it easy for young students to understand. "I see a yellow duck looking at me." This is a simple response that students can easily understand. Third, the book pushes readers to think more about the animals in the book. For example, they are able to think about the sounds of bears, birds, ducks, and horses. The big idea of this story is for students to notice patterns while they are reading.
    • 4/5
      This book is a good example of a concept book and the big ideas in this book are the concepts of animals and colors. The repetition and rhyming make it a good book for learning sight words such as "what," and "see." One problem I have with the book is that most of the animals in the book are realistic colors while only two animals, the blue horse and purple cat, are unrealistically colored. This might be confusig for young children who are learning colors because they will be creating inconsistent associations between animals and colors.
    • 3/5
      Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See? is written by Bill Martin Jr. and is illustrated by Eric Carle. While this book does not really have a storyline or plot, the author goes around asking animals what they see. The answer is usually another animal. This process is repeated several times. I like this book because it would be great for really young kids; they can participate while this book is being read aloud, telling the reader what it is that the animal sees. One way I could see this working as a writing text could be to have my students develop their own rendition of this book (maybe using another subject besides animals).
    • 5/5
      Fun interactive book for children
