picture book make it a dog-eared favourite on many children's bookshelves. On each page, we meet a new animal who nudges us onward to discover which creature will show up next: "Blue Horse, Blue Horse, What do you see? I see a green frog looking at me." This pattern is repeated over and over, until the pre-reader can chime in with the reader, easily predicting the next rhyme. One thing readers might not predict, however, is just what kinds of funny characters will make an appearance at the denouement! Children on the verge of reading learn best with plenty of identifiable images and rhythmic repetition. Eric Carle's good-humoured style and colourful, bold illustrations (like those in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Grouchy Ladybug, and Have You Seen My Cat?) have earned him a prominent place in the children's book hall of fame.

Advantages: Educational for children Disadvantages: None...except text could have been bigger
...on the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" which was written by Bill Martin, Jr and the pictures by Eric Carle. This book is very much based on colours and I think it is brilliant in the way that it dedicates each page to just one colour and does rhyme. The Story
It starts with a picture of a brown bear taking over the whole two pages, the text says…"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?? Then the brown bear says "I see a ... ...rhyming of the question…"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see" Mathematical Development - This could be counting the number of animals at the end, or just counting each animal on the page, maybe counting the words, Maths isn't just about counting etc…it does include shape, space, measures, so you could actually go through the book and pick out all the shapes. Knowledge and Understanding of the World - This could be anything in the book, from showing ...

What Do You See??? Review ofBrown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (Picture Puffin) - Bill Martinby
belfin
Advantages: Teaches children about colours Disadvantages: Writing isn't as bold for children to read.
...the question,
"Brown bear, brown bear,
what do you see?"
The bear then answers with,
"I see a red bird looking at me."
On the next page the red bird is asked the same question and he sees a yellow duck who is in turn asked what he can see. This format goes on through the book until finally a monkey is asked what he sees. His answer is that there are children looking at him. The story ends by asking the children what they can see and on the final ... ...that have been found throughout the story.
***The Illustrations***
The collage type illustrations are a lovely addition to this story and the bright colours really stand out well against the white background. Most of the animals are realistically coloured although I wasn't too sure about the blue horse or the purple cat.
***My Thoughts***
All children seem to love learning about colours and this is a fun way to do it. Introducing one at a time ...
