Brown Bear, Brown Brown what do you see?  The story explores and teaches about different animals and colors.  Bear, bird, duck, horse, frog, cat, dog, sheep, fish and also a teacher and students.  Brown, red, yellow, blue, green, purple, white, black, gold.  The illistrator of the book did an amazing job for bring the words to life.  This story really is about the pictures and not the words.  It goes through the animals who are all different colors and that is what each animal they see is.  The goldfish says that it sees a teacher staring at it and the teacher has a children looking at them and the children see all the animals and colors. 

This story helps kids learn colors and animals and introduces them to being more awear of their serroundings.

This book is ment for the young kids and I would recommend it to parents to read to their kids.  The younder kids would love the pictures in the book and the animals.  All the colors in the book really pop out, it is perfect for those kids ages 2-4.

I really don't feel like there would be any problems with this book, unless someone does not really like the fact the the child page is children of all races (though that is one of my favorite parts.

Eric Carle is one of my all time favorite illustrators.  He uses such great colors and though the pictures are simple they show the words so well.  I love the colors and illustations in the story.  It is my favorite part of the book, and what is a picture book without the pictures.  I love this book!
