Evaluation/Rating: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do you See? By: Bill Martin Jr. is a book I personally remember from my childhood. I remember liking the wording of the book, and even now that I read it again, I get that same feeling again, and I personally remember my mom saying that it is a pattern within the book, and it has a rhythm to it. Upon looking at it from a teachers perspective, the book has great qualities. It teaches color within the story, and it gives sequence as well. The pictures are nice and big too which is a good quality. I like the way the book gives the relationship of the teacher looking at her students, and her students giving the whole entire order of the animals depicted in the book as well as ending back to the teacher. I would evaluate this as a 4 because it is a great sequencing book along with it being a great aid to colors, and even animals and naming them.
