Countless toddlers have chanted along with Martin's rhythmic, repetitive text. ("Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?" "I see a redbird looking at me." "Redbird, redbird, What do you see?") Carle's trademark paper collage illustrations in bold colors have made Brown Bear a favorite for over forty years.
