***Background***
Eric Carle is probably more famous for that wonderful story of a little hungry caterpillar who eats and eats until he cocoons and turns into a butterfly, but he has also provided the illustrations for a number of other fantastic stories and this one is one of those.
This book is actually a series of books written by Bill Martin, Jr and centres on different colours throughout it. Other books in the series commit to sound and movement and are equally as good.
***The Story***
This is another rhyming book and starts with the question,
"Brown bear, brown bear,
whatdoyousee?"
The bear then answers with,
"I see a red bird
looking at me."
On the next page the red bird is asked the same question and he sees a yellow duck who is in turn asked what he can see. This format goes on through the book ...
Advantages: Educational for children Disadvantages: None...except text could have been bigger
Hello people, I am writing my review based on the book "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, WhatDoYouSee?" which was written by Bill Martin, Jr and the pictures by Eric Carle. This book is very much based on colours and I think it is brilliant in the way that it dedicates each page to just one colour and does rhyme.
The Story
It starts with a picture of a brown bear taking over the whole two pages, the text says?"Brown Bear, Brown Bear, whatdoyousee?? Then the brown bear says "I see a red bird looking at me." Then when you turn the page it there is off course a picture of a red bird and the same question is asked "Red bird, Red bird, whatdoyousee?" the Red bird says "I see a yellow duck looking at me". Then again turn the page and there is a picture of a yellow duck. Again the duck takes up the whole two pages ...
Advantages: Encourages participation, teaches children the names of animals Disadvantages: Some very young children may associate the words with the sounds that animals make!
animals:
dozy dormouse, slimy slugs, pretty peacock, slithery snake, prickly porcupine, enormous elephant, scary spider and a crotchety crocodile.
The text is very simple?
If yousee a ??.. say ??.
e.g. If yousee an enormous elephant ?.say ?Wow!?
All sorts of sounds and sometimes words are used for the different animals: Yuk, Ouch, Eeek, Hiss, Pooo etc.
The final page is full of small drawings of the animals used in the book along with the expressions used for each. What I?m not overly keen on is that some extremely young children may associate these words and expressions with the animals, in other words that these animals make these sounds, just make them aware that these aren?t the sounds that the animals make, with the exception of the snake and ?hiss?.
