“Red bird red bird what do you see? I see a yellow duck looking at me.“

This is a very simple yet enjoyable book for preschool children and even toddlers. It doesn't require a high level of attentiveness because it is very simple and easy to follow along. I love it!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr is a classic poetry book that uses simple words yet vibrant images to make the story come alive. It is about a bear that comes across a variety of beautiful and colorful animals. It uses repetition by repeating the same line on every page, but with a different animal!

I have always loved Eric Carle illustrations as I find they can turn a somewhat bland book into something much bigger. This book is great as it is very simple and can be read to younger children, but also teaches literary elements like rhyming. Great book.

Id love to incorporate classic books like this one and so many others into my classroom.

Picture book. Published 1967. This is a great classic story that children of all ages have either heard of or know off the top of their heads. I grew up reading this story with my Grandma and it brings back so many memories.

“And a teacher looking at us, that‘s what we see”

The illustrations in this book are so defining that it is eric carle. The repetitiveness in the book keeps it clear to understand for little kids. Perfect book for beginning readers.

Toddlers adore this simple book!!!

And if we ever needed proof that book bans have gotten out of hand in America this book is it. In 2010 the Texas board of ed. confused the author of this book with a philosopher of an almost identical name who teaches (among other things) Marxist theory, and banned this book… scared perhaps that hidden messages would lead their 3 yr olds to reject capitalism????

If you have gold, wear gold.
But orange will do. #tradition

Finally. White dog sees a black sheep and I can wear black to school. This year my school is doing a color rotation so my wardrobe is red, yellow, blue, & green. This #tradition has been a great break.

Purple cat sees white dog. We will all be wearing white with a hint of pink for breast cancer awareness today. #tradition

Green 🐸 sees purple cat! #tradition @KrisNelson now you know which PJs to wear today. 😏

Blue horse sees green 🐸 frog! #tradition

Yellow duck sees blue horse, have a happy blue Friday! #tradition

Red bird sees yellow duck. I wish you could have seen all the red today. Lots of red for Ed and our kids. #tradition

Who can remember what Brown 🐻 sees? We'll wear that color tomorrow. #traditions

Everyone at my school is wearing brown today as the kindergarten start reading Brown 🐻 Brown 🐻 #traditions

Spent a whole day with Leander yesterday. While not a grandchild, I spent 3 years straight with him, but missed out on the last 9 months. We were so happy to be together again. He and I read many of Carle‘s books yesterday and Leander talked about how many of them were important to him. What an impact this author has had on so many children.

So sad. Eric Carle died on Sunday. I can‘t tell you how many times I read this to my daughter when she was a toddler. I could say it in my sleep, but she never tired of it. Thank you, Mr. Carle!

This is MF. This is great for DR. This book has won the Indies Picture Book Hall of Fame. It is about animals saying what they see. This book is great for kindergarten to begin reading or first grade to help with fluency.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? 🐻 This MF, S book is a classic book for any elementary classroom. This cute story that I grew up with takes us on a journey through meeting different animals as they explain what each of the sees! This is a great book for primary grades because of the various colors and animals introduced. I see this book is best fit as a storytelling piece. The UDL principle 2.5- illustrate through multiple media...

This is a great book for practicing animal sounds. Eric Carle‘s signature, super fun illustration.

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? By Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle is a clever and captivating rhyming book that kids can‘t get enough of. The colorful animals mentioned keep them enticed in the book and the repetition keeps them engaged. UDL 2.2 is present because it keeps a persistent structure throughout. This link is a nice rhythmic reading of the book. https://youtu.be/HaDDsT9IAWc

Had to run downstairs and grab something. "I'll read to Nina until you come back," Lane says.
Turns out there are perks to having read this book approximately 6 million times in the last 4 years... #raisingreaders

This F book is a classic for any early reader. It starts with a brown bear and what he sees. From then on, all of those different animals see other things. The book uses color and rhyming that will get any young reader interested in finding out what they will see next! This is a great book to use for SR, especially with younger students! It is easy to follow along with and can get the students to read with the teacher. #UCFLAE3414SP20

There isn‘t a specific quote I enjoy about this book because there is a lot of repetition. I think a teacher should read the “what do you see” in the same rhythm each time to create almost a song effect to this book.

I would only read this book to an infant or toddler classroom. It‘s too easy for anyone over. A teacher could use silly voices for each animal to make it a more enjoyable read for the students.

This is a perfect read aloud to infants and toddlers. This book has a consistent repetition that if read enough, a child could remember it and read it back to you. In the end, it shows all the animals together, allowing children to create connections to the beginning and end of the book.

“Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I see a red bird looking at me!”

This book is very good for young children! They love to read along and it allows children to associate animals and their colors!
