Picture Book Thursday (6)

Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See, Bill Martin, Jr. Eric Carle, Illustrator

From Goodreads:

The gentle rhyming and gorgeous, tissue-paper collage illustrations in this classic picture book make it a dog-eared favorite on many children's bookshelves. On each page, we meet a new animal who nudges us onward to discover which creature will show up next: "Blue Horse, Blue Horse, What do you see? I see a green frog looking at me." This pattern is repeated over and over, until the pre-reader can chime in with the reader, easily predicting the next rhyme. One thing readers might not predict, however, is just what kinds of funny characters will make an appearance at the denouement! Children on the verge of reading learn best with plenty of identifiable images and rhythmic repetition. Eric Carle's good-humored style and colorful, bold illustrations (like those in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Grouchy Ladybug, and Have You Seen My Cat?) have earned him a prominent place in the children's book hall of fame. (Baby to Preschool) 

An all-time favorite in my house because of the gorgeous illustrations and the ease of reading it.  We have the board book version and it loses nothing than the 8x10 book.  It's sturdy, great teething material for young hands!  I had to read this story to Lily all the time and even now, she still pulls out her copy.
