Product Description
Children will immediately respond to Eric Carle's flat, boldly colored collages that are combined with Bill Martin's singsong text to create unforgettable images of endearing animals. Author: Bill Martin Jr Illustrator: Eric CarlePublisher: Holtzbrinck Publishers
Amazon.com Review
The gentle rhyming and gorgeous, tissue-paper collage illustrations in this classic picture book make it a dog-eared favorite on many children's bookshelves. On each page, we meet a new animal who nudges us onward to discover which creature will show up next: "Blue Horse, Blue Horse, What do you see? I see a green frog looking at me." This pattern is repeated over and over, until the pre-reader can chime in with the reader, easily predicting the next rhyme. One thing readers might not predict, however, is just what kinds of funny characters will make an appearance at the denouement! Children on the verge of reading learn best with plenty of identifiable images and rhythmic repetition. Eric Carle's good-humored style and colorful, bold illustrations (like those in The Very Hungry Caterpillar, The Grouchy Ladybug, and Have You Seen My Cat?) have earned him a prominent place in the children's book hall of fame. (Baby to Preschool) --Emilie Coulter

Strange, but Captivating July 21, 2010
BostonMama (Boston, MA)
I started collecting children's books long before my daughter was born, but I never bought this one. Every time I would read it in a bookstore, I couldn't figure out what all they hype was about. It's kind of weird: Why is the horse blue? ("Blue horse, blue horse, what do you see?") And why is the cat purple? All of the other animals are the correct colors. The words seemeded, at the time, repetitive and boring. And I thought it was odd that there was a teacher at the end. It seemed like this book belonged in a classroom rather than at home.
Fast forward to a few months ago, when my daughter, at the time 11 months old, went to a little baby-and-mommy enrichment class that I take her to. The teacher read this book, and my daughter was enthralled. She stared and stared, and she kept scooching up closer to the teacher for a better view. And the teacher's delivery-- filled with enthusiasm about what was on the next page, and with the ANIMAL SOUNDS that each animal makes-- kept every child in the class completely captivated. I still don't understand the animal colors, but I've changed my mind about this book. I have come to believe that taste in books is something one is born with, and everyone is different. While I would never have picked this book out for my daughter, she clearly loves it, and for that reason, I now love it, too. I can't believe how much she took to it, but I bought the book today, and am excited to read it to her tonight.
For those whose children find this book boring, I can think of two possibilities: (a) they just have different taste than the kids who do, or (b) your delivery could be better. Try reading it with excitement about what could POSSIBLY be on the next page, and doing the corresponding animal sounds as you turn to each animal. It might help breathe some new life into the book for your child.
I'm sorry to hear the book was changed from its original version. That's really a shame. I still gave it 5 stars, because of my daughter's reaction to it, but I agree that the format should NEVER have been changed for classic like this book.
 An Enduring Toddler Classic July 13, 2010
Shanna A. Gonzalez (Gaithersburg, MD)
This immensely popular toddler book features a procession of animals, introduced by the same chant addressed to the preceding animal: "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see?" The animal answers, "I see a red bird looking at me." Then the page is turned to reveal a red bird, who is asked the same question, and answers that a yellow duck is looking at her. In this way a blue horse, green frog, purple cat, black sheep, and gold fish are introduced, who finally mention the teacher and children who are looking at them (presumably from outside the book, as well as being pictured in its pages.)
The predictable format, rhymic repetition, pleasing collage illustrations, and systematic introduction of colors with animal names have endeared this book to children and those who teach them since its publication 40 years ago. It has been translated into many languages and is read around the world. It is well suited to toddlers, and can also work as a confidence-building early beginning reader.
Never Too Young to Learn to Read July 6, 2010
Richard W.Oldenburg (Tehachapi, CA)
Dr.Martin has demonstrated the beauty of repetition in developing vocabulary in young children. The colors will excite the toddler and instill a love of reading. His companion book, "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" follows the identical technique. However, as a childhood educator, Dr. Martin should know that snakes do not have ears and cannot hear. But Eric Carle's hissing boa makes up for misstep. These books will live forever.
