Bill Martin jr. wrote a book that helps children learn sense phonics sounds and literacy, also colors, and animal names. This is a great picture book for young children because they can explore their surroundings and learn. new vocabulary words. many lesson plan may also be used with this book because it incorporates many subjects like reading, weighting, math, possibly science. I like the visuals and the different colors used for the animals. It gives students a sense of self expression. ( )
Children see a variety of animals, each one a different color, and a teacher looking at them.

Book description
Brown Bear is one of all-time favorite stories to share with children. There is so many variations to present this book to children. I like to do the flannel board version and have the children bring an animal to the board as we read. I also like to sing it with the CD and then have the children sing it with me without the music. This book helps children identify animals and colors. Children love to hear this story at least once a week. Additionally the rhythmic tone and repetition is very soothing to young children. I think this is an excellent pre-school book that a teacher can use to increase language and pre-literacy skills.
