(ch 5 poetry) Brown Bear Brown Bear
By Bill Martin Jr. ages infant on up

I alwasys thought the author was Eric Carle however he turns out to be the illustrater.
I have read this book thousands of times to my two girls and other children. The pictures are sort of abstract with only the basic colors, a repetition in words is what captivates the young audience. I had no idea this book was considered a poem. Easy way to introduce color and words to children along with the variety of animals incorporated in this wonderful book.
