  Read this book for my 13 months old a couple of times. Decided to add on here now because I’m behind my reading goals haha but it’s a good book. Many animals and good visuals.

  Similar to
  Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, almost to the point of direct repetition. But this one is slightly superior in that it has a more appealing trajectory, fewer fake animals, and far more words for children to learn.

  Having the book available in a larger format than usual as well as the accompanying CD featuring actress Gwyneth Paltrow reading it aloud may charm many young readers. No matter the size of the book or the musical embellishments on the CD, this picture book will also have appeal because of the way each part of the story fits together with the others. Youngsters will enjoy trying to guess what Baby Bear and the other animals see, the description of each animal, the interesting artwork with all those colors and shades, and they will love the repetitive nature of the questions. It's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't love sharing this with a youngster or any youngster who would not want to hear the book read aloud. Ideal for teaching children to love language, there is much to celebrate here, including the bond between a mother and her little one.
  
  The second version of this classic story that I recently read has a lift-the-tab format, and the book itself is quite small, perfect for the hands of a little one.

  Boom!

  We are big fans of Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See , so when we found this version with Baby Bear we knew we'd be in for a treat. This is cute and my kids enjoyed the different animals that Baby Bear sees along his journey.

  Pretty much a standard Eric Carl book. It provides a good list of a variety of animals and verbs.

  Such an awesome book with vivid colors which will allow the children to learn their colors as well as animals. A great classroom activity is to ask each student what was their favorite animal and the what was the animals color? We can also put up a chart and write down the response that each child give us and see what animal received the most likes. Then allow each child to draw and color their favorite animal and ask each student why they liked that particular animal and then we will hang each picture up so that the whole class can see. Might even sing Old McDonald had a farm.

  Now that I've read all the books in this series, I am a little sad to say none of the sequels can fully stand up to the original. But! this final entry is not a bad book in any way. The text is pretty easy to read aloud, and the illustrations are just as lovely as ever. The conclusion is unique in the series, as it does not feature humans at all. I love that the theme of this book is wild animals of North America, with a subtle hint at the necessity of their conservation. It's definitely a book worth having, as part of an illustrator's children's picturebook collection, or just so that kids can own and enjoy the complete series.

  I love this book. The kids will love the books because of the animals that were used. Also the kids will love this book because the animals are so very colorful. The author used animals that are very kid friendly. The book also follows the same pattern that would be easy for an early reader to understand. The cover has you fooled because you think you are going to read about bears but once you open the book the children will be pleasantly surprised when they see all the different animals.

  Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? is the final collaboration from this bestselling author-illustrator team. Young readers will enjoy Baby Bear's quest to find Mama, and they'll revel in identifying each of the native North American animals that appear along the way. The central focus on the special bond between mother and child makes a fitting finale to a beloved series.
  
  These groundbreaking picture books have been teaching children to read for over forty years, and their consistently strong sales prove their staying power and continued applicability for today's kids.

  Of all the Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle books this is my favorite and my son requests it the most of all of them. I like this one best because it restricts the animals to North American Endangered Species so it has a gentle ecological theme. The format of all of these wonderful books, in general, are also quite brilliant using repetitive language on each page to introduce the animals and then at the end the final two pages review all the animals with small pictures. As a learning device it is so effective and I love letting my son say all the animals at the end as I point to them.

  Classic Eric Carle illustrations combine with this great text for storytime for kids who are a little older than the Brown Bear, Brown Bear crowd. The illustrations are more subtly colored, evoking the natural coloration of the animals presented, and the animal actions described are more varied, and active instead of the passive "looking at me" from the original Brown Bear.
  
  I will be adding this to my Saturday storytime repertoire for sure.

  A succession of animals, beginning with a baby bear, are asked what they see.
  
  This book introduces young readers to animals native to North America. It features rhyming repetitive text, which allows small children to anticipate what will happen next and participate in the story, as well as
  Eric Carle's classic illustrations.

  This picture book takes reader on a quest to find baby bears Mama. The baby bear takes us through a familiar wildlife animals that are native to North America. Young readers will find the picture book fun to be read aloud. With every page spread bringing our attention to a new animal, the illustrations are amusing to look at. The repetition will makes it easier for young children to read along too and they could potentially read along as well.
