Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

By: Bill Martin, Jr.

Illustrated by: Eric Carle

Ages: 0-3

This book is great for introducing children to colours. It uses large illustrations of animals that pop with vibrant colours like red, yellow, blue, green, purple, white, black and of course, brown (my favourite is the green frog with the big smile). There are less than 20 words per two-page spread which makes it a quick read.

PROGRAMMING IDEAS
Game - Animal noises: Have the programmer demostrates the noises that each animal makes and ask the children to repeat back (i.e. bird, duck, horse, dog, cat, frog, etc.)

Craft - Colouring: Supply the children with illustrated outlines of animals and ask the children to colour the animal with many different colours.
