Title: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?
Illustrator: Eric Carle
Stage(s): Infant, Toddler, Preschool
Why We Love It:
Repetitive lines help children remember and become active participants during read-aloud time. And when the simple line,” …what do you see? I see a …looking at me.” is repeated on every page, it won’t take long before your child is chiming in. First published in 1967, this classic concept book features a bouncy rhyming repetition that has sparked three similarly popular concept books. Eric Carle’s colorful tissue-paper collage allows children to focus on the animal and its color.
