The story speaks of a variety of animals with different colors and what they see. They see a green frog, a purple cat, and a white dog to name a few. They also see a teacher as well as she sees them. At the end of the book, all of the animals are talked about again on the last couple of pages.

reading this book, my six-year old son read aloud with me. This was great. He seem to really enjoy the book as much as I did. The book was fun and interesting to the both of us. One thing I noticed in addition to the vivid colored animals was when portraying the children there was a diverse group of children pictured. This is important, so the children can realize their differences. I really like this. I like the way the author made something so simple into a great and interesting subject.

This book could be used for classroom extension. Read the book aloud with your class and while reading have the students point out parts or repetition that are shown throughout the book. Another extension for the classroom, could possibly be to have the children color a worksheet with different animals from the story and see what color they color them. Ask yourself, do they match the story, why or why not?

I love the repetition in the book i think it is a great read aloud book.

Obviously a popular book. My toddlers love it for the pictures and simple words. The repetition is great for the young set learning animal names and colors.

Always read with a sing-song voice. The illustrations are a treat.

I have read this book so many times that I think both my son and I have memorized the words. I once recited it to him at Grandma's when we spent the night and left it behind at home. It was the *only* book he wanted to hear that night! Not bad for a toddler recommendation.

This book again is a great one for early childhood. Children learn to memorize and predict what will happen next as they read the story over and over again! The story also introduces different animals that children will begin to become more familiar with as they get older. It also introduces

different colors which can be a good introduction for young children. At an older level, the cut paper art work is something I have done with elementary as well as college students!

Brown Bear is a picture book that uses animals and colors to tell the story. It is a book full of repetition and rhymes. I remember reading this book when I was young. It helped me recognize and memorize a story by its repetitious patten.

Using this story I could have children color their own Brown

Repitition is key to 1 year olds. Evie hated this book until about that age and now she loves the repeat.

This is a great book about colors and animals. It is good for read aloud to a class since the pictures are so vivid and large. It is also good to read aloud because a teacher and class are mentioned. I would use this for pre-kindergarten and early kindergarten.

“Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?” is a picture book written by Bill Martin and illustrated by Eric Carle. This book does not really tell a story but instead is written with the intention of helping very young children; probably toddlers understand and identify colors. This is

accomplished by a simple continuing sentence structure as with the title. The page begins with a colored animal who is asked what they see and that animal says they see another colored animal which is found on the same page which has the same structure.
“Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?” is certainly a bore to read if you are an adult, with its repetitive nature and simple sentence structure it does not offer much of anything in the language department. However one may find the illustrations appealing. This is not criticism; it is obvious that the author was not trying to challenge anyone but the toddler intellectually. However the author does do a good job in just that, given time any child would be able to read the book by memory and learn there colors. This is a great book to teach children color and does offer more than the usual color book with its unique painting. I personally would rather read this book than set there with my child in my lap reading “this is a red ball; this is a green tree etc.”
A great extension for this book would be to have the children guess what the animal is going to see on the next page. With time they are sure to remember and have fun telling you the answers. Another activity would be to simply ask the children what other of the same colors they see in the room.

is a simple, straight forward book that many yound children can read.

Some extension ideas could be for the students to do a color sheet and try to color the animals the same as they are in the book. Also, the teacher could pick out students to identify the colors in the book. Another is go on a field trip to the zoo to see the animals.

This is another one of those simple, repetitive books that Eric Carle is so good at.

I think we all remember the plot from our own childhoods, anyway :)

I read the book with Ana when she was a baby, making animal sounds on every page. Silly, but it engaged her then.

Young children can remember story and love to read a long. Great for Preschool. Fast read.

This early childhood book tells a story of different animals. At the end we find out that the children have used their imagination to play each of the animals. This is a great book to read to young children for them to learn each of the animals and maybe even have the children dress uo themselves.

This is a great book. Teaches young children about color. Has rhymes in the book so children can read along with the teacher.

This book would be great to read to kindergarteners because it has great pictures of animals and it uses alot of bright colors, and so I could ask the students what colors they see.

This book is ideal for those kids that are beginning to read. Those students that know their animals and basic reading rules will enjoy this rhyming book!

I would use this book for K-2nd. A great book to teach repition and colors. Each page has a new animal that is a new color. Children get to learn animal names and colors at the same time. It would be fun to do an activity after reading this book where children can create their own animal. Easy book

beginning reader. I have heard this book maybe a several hundred times; my children loved this book because it was easy for them to read. The favorite animal was he blue horse, because you never see a blue horse!

In the classroom this book could be used to learn colors. You can pick a day for each color (monday = brown) and have the class wear that chosen color to school. This is a great lesson and activity for kindergarteners.
