This book is one long rhyme starting with asking a panda what he sees and eventually finishing by asking a dreaming child what he sees to which he replies that he sees all the animals mentioned before hand. This book is quite good for children learning to read because it uses repetition so a child

This was a fun rhyming story with various different animals. Every page had a new animal on it. It was very predictable, even at the ending. This story was similar to brown bear brown bear.
I liked this story because it had great illustrations and children can read along with the main reading or

even by themselves in the future. I think it also helps their memory skills.
A good extension idea (for younger children) is that as a class we can write down all the things we see and try to make a similar story. Also (for older children), I can make a homework assignment out of it and have them list all the things they see when they are driving home.

Picture Book. This rhyming book is about the endangered species of the world. It is much like the beloved Brown Bear, Brown Bear also by Eric Carl. This book ends with a dreaming child. The wonderful collage artwork would be a great introduction to different ways to illustrate books. I would use

this book to get into the subjects of environmental issues and endangered species.

Great for grades k-2. Illustrations made with watercolors. Helps kids with good character. The book is told from the point of view of endangered creatures, and one dreaming child.

Great book for children to read!! I love it. One of my favorites! With "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What do You See?" children are able to meet ten of the world's endangered animals - a bald eagle soaring , a water buffalo charging, a spider monkey swinging, a green sea turtle swimming, a macaroni

penguin strutting, a sea lion splashing, a red wolf sneaking, a whooping crane flying, and a black panther strolling. Your child will love it:)

This book is a quick read and very cute. Most children really love animals so this is a great thing to read to them. I would read this to a younger group of kids, probably first grade and do an echo read.

Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What do you See? is a story about several different animals and what they see. Each of them sees other different animals doing different things. At the end of the book, a child sees all of these animals in his dream. This book would be great when talking about different

animals and what they do.

A story about wild animals who are free. There are several animals listed. the story ends with a child asking what the child sees.

Fun book! Very easy!
LibraryThing member csteadman
I love books that educate children about animals. This book is a great book to educate children about different animals that exist, some of which are extinct. Many of the animals in the book, children might not have heard of before such as, a whooping crane. The book is also fun to read because of

the rhyming and very colorful pictures.

A story about endangered animals and all the different types there are.
LibraryThing member jesaltman
This is a great picture book that has a pattern as you read. At the end of the book you have to go back through all the animals you can across while traveling through the book. This is great for early childhood.
LibraryThing member Ebinns
This poem is appropriate for for Pre-K through 4nd grade. This book is the sequel to "Brown Bear, Brown Bear,What do you see?" It uses different animals this time and the animals that are used are on the Endangered Species list. This book was created to help spread the word about conservation. From

Panda bear to bald eagle each animals see another who needs protection. Teacher could use this book for children to learn about conservation and endangered species. Teacher could have students find other endangered animals and have them create their book based on the what they learned from the teacher or new information found by outside materials.

Forms awarness of endangered species.
LibraryThing member emleonard
This book reminds me of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" that I use to memorize as a young child. "Panda Bear, Panda Bear...." just uses different animals. This is a great book about different animals and uses repetition for children to guess what the next animal will ask.

Great book for sequencing.
LibraryThing member Stockel
Good to use for rote songs and music lessons. Would use with younger children PreK to 5K .
LibraryThing member bnlmoore
This book introduces children to what endangered animals are. This book follows the same format and is repetitive with all the different animals that the children when reading can guess what is coming next. This is a great book for children to learn to read on their own.

Similar to Carle's popular Brown Bear, Brown Bear book, this story features a series of animals, linked together as each creature sees the next one in the series. The animals are very specific - macaroni penguins, . The illustrations are great Carle collages, colorful representations of the various
Show More
animals that are very appealing. The text uses simple, repetitive sentences that are good for new readers, and is a celebration of animals in the natural world. Panda Bear is a good board book, by an established children's book writer that has created a number of classics; while this is not his most interesting work, it has the appealing art work and focuses on animals. A solid average entry in our library.

This rendition of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" includes only endangered animals. Like all the Eric Carle books, this one is filled with colorful and creative illustrations enjoyed by all ages. I especially like the repetitive sentence structure of the book, and can see children

Beautiful illustrations, about pandas and their environment/what they see
LibraryThing member lmeza
Eric Carle is the best! Perfect for young ones (toddlers); the repetition makes them feel as if they are actually reading and the story, the way the author wraps it around is so sweet. Lovable!
LibraryThing member atinney16
Summary: This book is a repetitive book. The book is always repeating "What do you see?" and then it throws in another animal. I like seeing the different animals and how there is a different shape that represents the animals.
Personal Experience: This book gets stuck in my head after i read it.
Show More
Its such a repetitive book that i love reading it.
PErsonal Reflection: I could have the students look through the book and discuss what shapes there are. I could have them create their own animal jusgt using shapes.

Summary:
This is a book meant mainly for younger readers. It goes through many endangered animals and asks what they see. Each one sees another animal that is on the endangered species list. At the end thte last animal sees a dreaming child who sees each of the animals previously mentioned in the
Show More
book.

Personal Reaction:
This is an amazing book for very young readers. It really shows children at a young age what endangered animals are. It's not the easiest thing to bring up with younger children, but this can open up that window. The illustraions by Eric Carle are amazing as expected.

Classroom Applications:
1. Do a lesson on endangered animals.
2. Make a classrom book with each of the childrens faces to mimic the book.

“Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?” by Bill Martin Jr. is a fantastic children’s book. The language that Martin uses follows a pattern that is easy for children to follow and/or read. Every page follows the pattern of saying the animal’s name twice followed by the phrase, “What do
Show More
you see?” followed by the phrase, “I see a…” What changes in the second sentence, are the animals and how the animals move. For example Martin has a bald eagle soaring, a water buffalo charging, and a macaroni penguin strutting. The illustrations that were done by Eric Carle are also beautiful. They are big, bright, and colorful. Each animal takes up two pages and the illustrations of the animal spans both pages. Carle’s illustration follow his normal style of using his oil paintings cut out and pasted together to create images. The simple imaging compliments the simplicity of Martin’s writing perfectly. The overall idea of this book is to teach children to read, inform children of different animals that exist, and entertain children.
