The Illustrations Make This One A Keeper

"Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?" is a very simple book, with repetitive text that makes it easy for youngsters to read. Not being familiar with the other titles by author Bill Martin or illustrator Eric Carle, I can't compare it to any of the other titles by this duo. What I can say is that the animals chosen for this particular book are endangered. From the Macaroni penguin to the red wolf, these creatures will captivate young minds.

Although the repetitious lines may bore parents when reading this book to their kids, the illustrations will keep their attention. Carle has made some wonderful creations on the pages of this book and they are what really make this book worth buying.

The endangered species message may be a bit over the little minds that will be reading or listening to this tale, but there's nothing wrong with giving kids this sort of knowledge at an early age. This book, primarily due to the pictures, is an excellent early stages book for children in kindergarten through second grade.

I enjoy reading this book to my son

I love the illustrations in this book of all the endangered animals--they are gorgeous and make reading it to my son a real pleasure. I even learned about a new animal via this book, the macaroni penguin, which I had to look up the first time I read it. I think this is a great addition to a child's library.

Exciting new spin on Brown Bear, Brown Bear

Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby

This book follows the same pattern as the classic Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? but with an exciting new spin -- exotic, endangered animals. It also has a delightful surprise ending that makes it perfect for a bedtime story.

Soon to be a classic

Another great book in the series. This one has a great message about protecting the animals children grow to love while reading Erin Carle.

Sorta Weird

My 2-year old twins like this book because they like to see the animals, but I think they'd get more out of it if more mainstream animals were used. I think they're a little thrown by animals like "macaroni penguin" - sounds like food to them. The dreaming child part is weird looking too.

I think it's great to use endangered animals, although my kids aren't exactly as concerned about animal endangerment as I am. It's not a bad book or anything, but honestly, if I had read it in a bookstore, I wouldn't have bought it.
