brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?

Looking ahead towards next week, I saw that we were studying picture books so I decided to read one of my favorite picture books by Bill Martin Jr., and Eric Clark. This book has graphic images of different animals in bold colors. Not only does the book teach colors but also what kind of animal is on the page. I loved the book as a child because it is so repetitive that I was able to know the words on the next page by only looking at the picture. This book relies heavily on pictures and the words on the page, and makes a very enjoyable read for the children. An excerpt from the book, "I see a green frog looking at me. Green frog, Green frog, What do you see? I see a purple cat looking at me. Purple cat, Purple cat, What do you see?" This is just a tidbit of what the 38 page book entails. The sequence all together goes: brown bear, red bird, yellow duck, blue horse, green frog, purple cat, white dog, black sheep, goldfish, mother, and finally children.
