This sweet book is perfect for beginner readers. Its rhymes are great for kids and it has animals that kids love!

This is a great book to introduce or review colors and/or animals to younger children. Carle's illustrations are phenomenal as always. (

I love to read Brown Bear, Brown Bear to young children. I have used it in daycare settings with children from ages 2-5. There are so many logical extensions from this material to support curriculum standards. Teachers can focus on various animals, various colors, and the repetition of the text. This book features beautiful illustrations by Eric Carle, who works mainly in collage format.

This is a book that shows a variety of different animals and each one is a different color. This would be a great book for echo reading with smaller children as they are learning how to read and track print because it is an easy read, and has a lot of repetition. (

This book goes through lists of animals asking them what they see. They always see another animal that is a different color, looking at them. This is a good book for learning colors and for any beginning reader. (

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) --Emilie Coulter
