Week 6 - Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Hello there!

 Ryan here, reviewing a lovely book that brings back a lot of nostalgia from when I was a young child, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? written by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Eric Carle. After initially reading this book, it seems as though it was originally designed for toddlers and young children to associate colours and meaning with objects. Also allowing them to rehearse a pattern of speech or reading as well as recall the pattern at the end. This story allows young readers, probably in reception or year 1, to observe different animals and features that are used to describe them. An example could be the brown bear and his colourings design to resemble fur, or the colouring of certain animals like the duck or the gold fish, as well as the actions some of these animals do, such as the cat licking itself.

Although not having a particular story per say, this book could be used in a young primary setting, enabling students to enjoy the well drawn and presented pictures as well as develop their skills in literacy, reading and identifying words.

The next book I will be reading and reviewing will be Charlotte's Web by E.B White.

Until next time.
