Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (Board book)

Product Review
This is another time-tested classic by author/illustrator Eric Carle. It opens asking a brown bear what he sees, and he replies, and the next page is the animal that he saw, and he is asked what he sees, and so on and so on. As you might expect from Carle, his simple but wonderful illustrations are a big part of the appeal of this book. Each two-page layout is a colorful animal centered on a white background, and that's it. Kids will effortlessly learn colors and animal names as you read it to them, and maybe a little sequential logic.

The illustrations in this book feature bright, colorful drawings and as you turn the pages, there is a large animal covering both sides of the page drawn with multiple shades of the featured color. The animals featured (in order of appearance) are: Brown Bear, Red Bird, Yellow Duck, Blue Horse, Green Frog, Purple Cat, White Dog, Black Sheep, and Gold Fish.

Besides the visual aspects and helping kids learn about animals, this book also helps kids learn the names of different colors. Each color is repeated multiple times in the book's pages, helping kids learn what shade to associate with what color. Kids enjoy trying to pronounce the different animal words and colors. This makes the book educational and also fun.
