"More patterns and repetition in this book as well. Great for younger audiences beginning to learn the basics of reading. Lots of fun activities you could do with this book from drama and puppets to review for vocabulary (rhyming words)."
— Sabrina (4 out of 5 stars)
“Another standout from the creators of a line of perennial favorites.
— Publishers Weekly, starred reviewEven after more than 35 years, [Carle's] style still radiates the same remarkable elemental beauty.
— The New York Times Book ReviewCarle's trademark paint and cut-out style and Martin's rhythmic and repetitive text full of animal observations engages little ones and keeps them turning the pages.
— San Francisco ChronicleCarle's use of negative space and of sculptural line conveys not only the essence of each animal but also the energy of its movement. A fine read-aloud with a subtle, yet clear, message.
— BooklistThe bright collage images and lilting language bring the animals to life on the page.
— School Library Journal" I love Brown Bear Brown Bear. And I like much of Martin's other work. However, this particular book tries too hard to match the format of the first book but without the things that made it such success "
— Shanshad, 2/12/2014" 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! "
— Leyla, 2/9/2014" "Cottage-industry Carle" has hit upon a theme with his "[Animal, Animal] What Do You See?" books. This one identifies endangered species. I'm still learning the basic animal categories, so this one, which includes spider monkeys and macaroni penguins is enjoyable but will probably be even better once I'm a bit older. "
— Dylan, 2/9/2014" This is another great book by Eric Carl that kids will love to read! Great book for the younger kids. "
— Ashley, 2/6/2014" Another beautifully written and illustrated book by Eric Carle. I cannot even imagine how many times I have read this to all of my children. "
— Michelle, 1/22/2014" i like using this book to teach about endangered animals "
— Denise, 1/19/2014" My son, 3-year-old, rarely asks me to read him the same book twice at a time. This book was fortunate enough to be chosen by him to be read twice ... "
— Mostafa, 1/5/2014" My son read this book to me as we were in a long line at a store. He liked it and it gave us some giggles. "
— Madkropotkin, 1/1/2014" The last page always makes me cry, though. "
— Rita, 12/30/2013" My mama reads this book to me in Spanish. "
— Jaxon, 12/29/2013" The classic Brown Bear, Brown Bear story is retold with endangered species. Great way to introduce these animals to kids! "
— Joe, 11/17/2013" Mommy says: The list of endangered animals prompted an ethically complex discussion about habitat loss due to growing human populations, could you remove the humans, and how do you make decisions about that. "
— Cana, 11/17/2013" A retelling of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? with endangered species as the focus. "
— Heather, 9/8/2013" Having succeeded with Brown Bear, Brown Bear, I suspect the author is just trying to turn a buck. My daughter liked this okay, but it absolutely pales in comparison to Brown Bear, Brown Bear, and there are times when the rhythm simply seems off. "
— Skylar, 8/21/2013" This is perfect book to share and read to young children and babies! We have read this book so many times at our house, I probably have it memorized, but it is just that good! "
— NancyJo, 7/29/2013" My favorite of the series. This one has the coolest animals and I like the dreaming child part at the end. "
— Andre, 7/19/2013" Nice but mommy prefers to shorten the animal names when she reads it to me. She thinks it reads better that way. "
— Butternugget, 6/9/2013" My son liked it as much as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See. A good way of teaching about endangered species to kids. "
— Susan, 5/19/2013" I love the bright illustrations in all of these books! Brilliant! "
— Emily, 1/28/2013" I love this book, I have it completely memorized "
— Bianca, 9/19/2012" Late night read with baby boy.... it is a good read. Great if you like the Brown Bear stories "
— Courtney, 7/15/2012" Beautifully crafted illustrations in Eric Carle's distinctive style, and with a message for the youngsters about endangered animals. Fabulous. "
— Louise, 4/10/2011" Reilly absolutely loves the pictures, great for small babies. "
— Amber, 4/8/2011" This is the parents' favorite of the repetitive animal series. Both boys learned the difficult animal names early. <br/> "
— Danny, 4/3/2011" This is the parents favorite of the repetitive animal series. Both learned the difficult animal names early. "
