Eric Carle cheapens what once was the great Bear franchise with this egregious piece of dung. After the lyrical, almost mystical revelation that was "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," let's hope this woeful follow-up is relegated to the ashheep of history and Carle is put to death for his heinous crime. Panda Bear, Panda Bear, you know what I see? I see a grotesque exploitation of little children and a soulless money-making machine that needs to be dismantled by anyone who cares about children's literatu...more

I read this book with my Reception class during SEB as one of their core texts for the year, and the children were completely enthralled by it. The story is very repetitive, which was good for the children as they were able to join in with these parts of the story - it became really interactive for them. They also listened intently to the less repetitive parts to find out what each animal could see. This book worked really effectively as an educational text due to the wide range of vocabulary th...more

I wasn't a fan of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, but I thought I'd investigate this, the third in the trilogy.
Yes, endangered species are an important issue, and raising the issue with young kids is important. But. You can't help but think that this was merely a money-grab. If this were truely about endangered species where is the note stating that "100% of the profits from this book will be donated to the World Wildlife Fund". And if they were really serious "this book was printed on...more

The book, "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?" is another great book Primary children to read on their own. This book is great for kindergartens who are learning to read. Martin does a great job of repeating many of the words throughout the entire book. The text in this book is very simple and easy to follow. Many of the words are names of animals and children can easily guess the word by looking at the picture on the page. There are only a few words on each page which allows beginner read...more
Panda Bear, Panda Bear What Do You See? is along the same lines as Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? except with different animals and actions. The animals featured in this book are wild animals such as a water buffalo and a bald eagle. This book is a predictable read-along that students will enjoy taking to a reading corner to read by themselves. This book can also increase student’s vocabulary by introducing animal names that are less common in our area so students may not be familiar wi...more
Basic Plot: Animals in the wild.
This book was identical in structure to Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?, also by Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. Carle's colorful, distinct artwork accompanies a simple, repetitive question-response format that my little guy really loves. The only trick was getting him to say "see" instead of "hear" like he did in the other book. As before also, I wasn't terribly into it, but he was, and that's the important thing with these stories. To see him get invol...more

There are lots of wiggle and stretch opportunities for children in this book, so in our story time we all stood up as we opened to the first page.
Panda sees a bald eagle (everyone flap wings, being careful not to bump any friends).
Eagle sees a water buffalo (everyone run in place, as if "charging").
Buffalo sees a spider monkey (everyone wave arms as if "swinging").
Monkey sees a green sea turtle (everyone paddle flippers).
Turtle sees a macaroni penguin (everyone strut in place--Charlie Chaplin st...more

I chose this book because my daughter loves panda bears. The book is about wild life and patterns. Each left page starts off with a repeat of the animal, "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, what do you see?" The animal will then tell you what it sees. When you turn the page it is the animal that was just seen. The colors are wonderful on each page. The children are really into the story because they try to guess what the next animal is. I love the fact that it makes a great read aloud book and an early rea...more

Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? Is very similar in format to the better known Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see. However, it features endangered animals and would be a simple way of introducing the topic. Like the other book, each animal leads to another, and finally the dreaming child looks at them all, allowing the reader to recap on each of the animals in turn. In Scotland a pair of Panda Bears were recently introduced into Edinburgh Zoo, and this would be nice read to lead in t...more
1. The genre of this book is a picture book- concept.
2. This book is about endangered animals. Each animal sees a different animal that leads to the next endangered species.
3. A) illustrations
B) The vibrant colors and size fo these pictures make them fun and happy. Each animal is illustrated over two pages with lots of color and lines for definition and simplicity.
C) On pages 9 and 10 there is a pciture of a sea turtle in the ocean. Carle uses a variety of greens, a little yellow, and some blue...more

Another book that presents the text in a simple, rhyming manner; it is also repetitive in it's sentence structure which allows for readers to appreciate the lyrical tone in which you can read it. This is a fun and interactive book for children to read because the children enjoy making the sound affects that belong to each animal on the page. Also, when reading this book to children in the classroom, they basically had this book memorized yet loved to read it--over and over again. I appreciate th...more
So, I have to admit to librarian blasphemy--I'm not a big Eric Carle fan. For whatever reason, his illustrations just don't really grab me and I don't really get the hype. This book was no exception for me, but man did the babies just LOVE it in story time. The combination of pictures and rhyming text was baby gold. I was practically mobbed by enthralled babies running up to get closer, trying to touch the book, and just generally being incredibly excited by it all. So, whether or not I'm a fan,...more
Children learn about ten of the world's endangered animals and the animals is portrayed in eye catching collages and the book ends with a child sleeping dreaming that one day all animals will be wild and free. The children will chant the rhythmic words; make the sounds the animals make and role play the animals. Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle are brilliant in children's education and children's illustrations and this is a great book for children in KS1 and can be used in a creative way within th...more
Fun book!
I enjoyed the circular aspect of this book! The fact that the animals are each looking at another animal, until the reader reaches the last animal that is looking at a child, who is looking at all the animals.
The colors were fun, vivid, and bright reflecting on how fun nature can be.
The page layout was interesting in the fact that each page has the illustration stretching over two pages, a doublespread. Having the pictures of the animals stretch over two pages created the feeling like...more

Following the same pattern as many of Eric Carle's other books,Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What do you see? is full repetition and charming illustrations. Although the format of the book lacks uniqueness,it is one that children love and creates an opportunity for them to predict what will happen next and engage in interactive reading. The books' feature of endangered animals is thoughtful and adds to the text but would require adult scaffolding,support to help relate the concept to young children. E...more

This book has the same structure as Carle's children's classic "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do You See?" but focuses on endangered species as the animals seeing each other. I will always give anything illustrated by Eric Carle at least 3 stars because even as an adult I find the texture of his illustrations compelling, and my baby definitely enjoys looking at Eric Carle books. However, this book is clunky to read. The rhythm is off on almost every page.
This book is very much like "Brown Brown Bear What Do You See?". I liked the repetition which is easy for children to follow. I also liked the introduction of animals that are not very common. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the story line because it is very close to the original. The illustrations were awesome too.
Children usually like Eric Carle's creations, so I'll recommend one be in each classroom of young children as well as home.

This book can be used to teach students about many adjective words and predicting story along with repetition. Teacher can extend the story to the lesson to make a classroom book with their names (Ex:Ms.Kim, Ms. Kim, what do you see? I see John is looking at me (and there would be a picture of John looking at the camera). John, John, what do you see? I see Sam is looking at me(and there is Sam's picture looking at the camera) and so on).
this book is a good book because it has lots of colors and pictures. it also gives the kids the name of each animal and describes the animals actions. i personally think the words were a little to much if a child decides to read this book. by looking at the picture they will know what kind of animal it is but will probabley not understand the adjectives describing the animal.

I thought this book was decent. Ath the beginning it wwas interesting, but as you read on the same pattern being repeated got tiresome. This book would definitely be for preschoolers or kindergarteners. At the end of the book I thought it left a good message about the wild animals being free. It also gives the reader a sense of just how many different kinds of animals there are.
A read aloud that introduces readers to a handful of endangered animals. Written in the same pattern that "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" is this title will have young listeners chanting along with you!
Animals included: Panda, Bald Eagle, Water Buffalo, Spider Monkey,Sea Turtle, Macaroni Penguin, Sea Lion, Red Wolf, Whooping Crane, Black Panther.

This book begins with a Panda. I like this series because it goes into different settings. Settings can also be taught with this series because each "What Do You See Book" begins with a different animal and a different location. This is why I like these books because you can really tell if students understand the idea of setting if you read enough of these books.
Interesting book! Even though all of these animals do not live in the same environment, the book has all of them. Each animal sees another one, and the animals are charging, swimming, soaring, etc. It gives children different adjectives that describes the animals and they learn different animal species. I liked it, but I not enough to read it more than a few times.
The illustrations are superb. The story is just not new - it's too similar to Brown Bear, Brown Bear. My favorite is Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? because you get to make sounds when you read it.
Just like the other books! I love the fact that they introduce new animals to children. Along with new vocabulary for children like strolling, watching, swimming and many more words that help children understand how different animals do different things.
Extension: Have children try and imitate what the animals were doing in the book.

I picked this up from the library since my one-year-old daughter likes Brown Bear so much.
The pictures are wonderful, unsurprisingly. I love Eric Carle's work. But the text just doesn't have the same perfect meter and rhythm as the original.
"Macaroni penguin, macaroni penguin, what do you see?" It just doesn't work.

I like this better than "Brown Bear" just because there is a little more variety in the text. Instead of every animal "looking at me", a variety of verbs are used. The bald eagle is "soaring by me" and the water buffalo is "charging by me." Kids need to hear these descriptive verbs to expand their vocabulary.
Eh. My two year old got a Tag reader as a present, and he loves Brown Bear, Brown Bear, so we got this for him to use with the Tag. It's the same concept, but the names of the animals are a lot harder for a toddler to grasp, and therefore (despite his love for pandas) he never picks this one up.
