- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Yay for pandas!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A great book for kids learning to read
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5“Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?” by Bill Martin Jr. is a fantastic children’s book. The language that Martin uses follows a pattern that is easy for children to follow and/or read. Every page follows the pattern of saying the animal’s name twice followed by the phrase, “What do you see?” followed by the phrase, “I see a…” What changes in the second sentence, are the animals and how the animals move. For example Martin has a bald eagle soaring, a water buffalo charging, and a macaroni penguin strutting. The illustrations that were done by Eric Carle are also beautiful. They are big, bright, and colorful. Each animal takes up two pages and the illustrations of the animal spans both pages. Carle’s illustration follow his normal style of using his oil paintings cut out and pasted together to create images. The simple imaging compliments the simplicity of Martin’s writing perfectly. The overall idea of this book is to teach children to read, inform children of different animals that exist, and entertain children.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Eric Carle is the best! Perfect for young ones (toddlers); the repetition makes them feel as if they are actually reading and the story, the way the author wraps it around is so sweet. Lovable!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful illustrations, about pandas and their environment/what they see
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This rendition of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" includes only endangered animals. Like all the Eric Carle books, this one is filled with colorful and creative illustrations enjoyed by all ages. I especially like the repetitive sentence structure of the book, and can see children practicing language by chanting along with the reader.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Similar to Carle's popular Brown Bear, Brown Bear book, this story features a series of animals, linked together as each creature sees the next one in the series. The animals are very specific - macaroni penguins, . The illustrations are great Carle collages, colorful representations of the various animals that are very appealing. The text uses simple, repetitive sentences that are good for new readers, and is a celebration of animals in the natural world. Panda Bear is a good board book, by an established children's book writer that has created a number of classics; while this is not his most interesting work, it has the appealing art work and focuses on animals. A solid average entry in our library.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book introduces children to what endangered animals are. This book follows the same format and is repetitive with all the different animals that the children when reading can guess what is coming next. This is a great book for children to learn to read on their own.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Summary:This is a book meant mainly for younger readers. It goes through many endangered animals and asks what they see. Each one sees another animal that is on the endangered species list. At the end thte last animal sees a dreaming child who sees each of the animals previously mentioned in the book. Personal Reaction:This is an amazing book for very young readers. It really shows children at a young age what endangered animals are. It's not the easiest thing to bring up with younger children, but this can open up that window. The illustraions by Eric Carle are amazing as expected.Classroom Applications:1. Do a lesson on endangered animals.2. Make a classrom book with each of the childrens faces to mimic the book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book reminds me of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" that I use to memorize as a young child. "Panda Bear, Panda Bear...." just uses different animals. This is a great book about different animals and uses repetition for children to guess what the next animal will ask.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book is one long rhyme starting with asking a panda what he sees and eventually finishing by asking a dreaming child what he sees to which he replies that he sees all the animals mentioned before hand. This book is quite good for children learning to read because it uses repetition so a child can guess what comes next.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book for children to read!! I love it. One of my favorites! With "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What do You See?" children are able to meet ten of the world's endangered animals - a bald eagle soaring , a water buffalo charging, a spider monkey swinging, a green sea turtle swimming, a macaroni penguin strutting, a sea lion splashing, a red wolf sneaking, a whooping crane flying, and a black panther strolling. Your child will love it:)
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A modern take on the classic Brown Bear, Brown Bear
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a fun rhyming story with various different animals. Every page had a new animal on it. It was very predictable, even at the ending. This story was similar to brown bear brown bear. I liked this story because it had great illustrations and children can read along with the main reading or even by themselves in the future. I think it also helps their memory skills. A good extension idea (for younger children) is that as a class we can write down all the things we see and try to make a similar story. Also (for older children), I can make a homework assignment out of it and have them list all the things they see when they are driving home.
