What Do You Hear?, Polar Bear, Polar Bear

Hands down, "Brown Bear" is better than this.
However, when the two are interchanged regularly, this is also a fun book to read.
My children definitely prefer Brown Bear to Polar Bear, but this requires more parental "animation" to make the book fun.
Still worth the purchase....

My seven-month old loves this book. She has enjoyed it for months. She really likes the sound-effects. They are fun and right on for these animals (although I don't know what a flamingo fluting sounds like, the rest are familiar).

This book ALWAYS makes my daughter smile.

Always a fun book for young children, Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? takes a prominent position on countless children's bookshelves and is a favorite among kids everywhere. The simple illustrations and rhyming text make this a captivating book! I highly recommend!

Another classic book from Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle! Polar Bear, Polar Bear features a new batch of interesting animals and their sounds, too. Both my boys love this book just as much as Brown Bear, Brown Bear and Panda Bear, Panda Bear. My 2 year old particularly loves the vibrant pictures and repetition in the text. It took him no time at all to catch on and now he can recite the whole book! He also learned all his colours with the help of these books. A must for anyone with a toddler or preschooler!

I really enjoy reading this book to my granddaughter (10 months old)! It is just so much fun to imitate the sounds of all of the animals, and my granddaughter waits for me to make those sounds....she laughs, and I laugh at her laughter.
I think this book should be in every baby's library.

Another wonderful book by Eric Carle! This is one my granddaughter wants read over and over again! Also buy "Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?" Even better, that was the first book my daughter learned to read! LOVE THESE books!!

After my son became infatuated with Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? My First Reader, I decided to buy this book as well as the Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? (My First Reader) and Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? (My First Reader). None of these books quite measure up to the original though.

What is nice is they offer alternatives to the animals that you normally encounter in children's books (cat/dog/bird, farm animals, forest creatures). However, it is just nowhere near as engaging as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, at least for us.
