Review by D. Smith for Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? (Brown Bear and Friends)
Rating:
This is a wonderful book for toddlers and older children. It has charming Eric Carle illustrations and covers a variety of North American animals such as skunks, deer, and prairie dogs. The amount of text is perfect to engage the interest of young children, while the North American animals capture the attention of older children. Highly recommended.

My baby absolutely lights up with these pictures and the cadence of the story. I probably in retrospect would have bought the board book because she wants to eat the pages. (7 month old). Other than that she loves the book and the pictures.

“Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See?” asks the title character and, more importantly, the young reader/listener what they see as they turn through the pages of this wonderful book. Like “Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?,” this book is filled with brilliant, big and colorful pictures from Eric Carle. Bill Martin, Jr. focuses this story on North American animals, making it a bit more interesting for the kids and their parents here in the good ol’ U.S. of A. I’ve actually seen a few of these animals in the wild thanks to the National Park system and a few trips around my home.
The text is familiar territory for parents and kids who’ve read other books by Martin, Jr. This wonderful rythmic writing makes it easy for kids to read and, even better, more fun to listen to. I highly recommend this book. It’s fun for all ages.

IT is a very fun story– but this particular issue has very thin pages so not practical for younger children…
Review by K. Carson for Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? (Brown Bear and Friends)
Rating:
I still love the original book in this series (Brown Bear) best for the cadence of prose and rainbow of characters, but Baby Bear is also a delightful book to have around. It’s probably my second-favorite in the series. My daughter (9 mo) seems to pick it up more than most of her books (it’s in about the 10th percentile). Though whether that’s because she loves the animals or just the color yellow, I couldn’t tell you.
I really like that the animals in this story are wild animals from my continent (though it does seem to be a bit more Western-focused than Eastern — e.g. mule deer instead of white-tailed deer — this surprised me as I know Eric Carle has his museum in Western Ma, so I was expecting the fauna to be more local, but it’s no big deal, we’ll just have to take our daughter to Yosemite some day). I also like the ending a lot, where the momma bear sees all the animals including her baby bear looking back at her. Very cute!
My only reservation about the book, if you can call it that, is that I can’t seem to read it without feeling stilted. I think it’s because of the frequent but not uniform use of the word “by” (e.g. “I see a striped skunk strutting by me.” I keep thinking, “do they mean that the skunk is strutting past or strutting near?” The word is used on most of the pages, but not all, and it either feels as though it should be more thoroughly mixed up, or that it should be “by” in every instance.
Obviously, though, these are the ramblings of a mother and not of the target audience. She seems perfectly delighted with the characters in this story and their actions, be they “by,” “near” or “at.”
In summary: it’s a cute book. You should get it for your baby, especially if you’re trying to pass on a love of the great American outdoors.
