A rhythmic text and bold collage illustrations combine to introduce children to a variety of animals and colors in this classic book for the very young. The chant-like text ("Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see? I see a red bird looking at me. Red, Red Bird, what do you see? I see a yellow duck looking at me," and so on) practically begs to be read aloud while the lovely illustrations promote close observation with their bright colors and interesting textures. A staple in both the preschool classroom and the toddler's home library, BROWN BEAR, BROWN BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE? is the first book in a series which also includes POLAR BEAR, POLAR BEAR, WHAT DO YOU HEAR? and PANDA BEAR, PANDA BEAR, WHAT DO YOU SEE?
