From Booklist
Forty years ago, Martin and a newcomer named Eric Carle launched a cottage industry with their now-beloved classic, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? (1967). After narrowing the original book's broad purview in two sequels, Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? (1991), about zoo animals, and Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? (2003), about endangered animals, this third sequel continues the thematic approach with an all-American assemblage and attention paid to the continent's many regions (a mountain goat, a rattlesnake, and a blue heron are among the creatures depicted). Martin's rhythmic text cleaves to the familiar pattern and leads readers from one double-page animal portrait to another, all crisply set against white backgrounds. Adults may appreciate the educational prospects of the North American angle, but the appeal here for the youngest children—as with the book's predecessors—will be in examining the complex, collaged textures within Carle's simple forms and in gleefully anticipating the appearance of each critter in the sequence. Mattson, Jennifer
About the Author
ERIC CARLE’s many innovative books have earned him a place in the canon of classic children’s literature.

Mr. Carle works in a studio near his home in western Massachusetts.

Customer Reviews
Great Martin/Carle book
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.
Baby Bear Loves this Book!
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.
Another Excellent Title From Martin and Carle
"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.
