Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin, Jr.

I chose to read this book because I am interested in teaching kindergarten. Eric Carle, the illustrator, uses great depictions of animals and colors to help understand and recognize colors. The title of the book is basically the whole jist of the book. Martin starts by asking the brown bear what he sees and the he answers he sees a red bird looking at him. Each animal is asked the same question and a yellow duck, blue horse, green frog, purple cat, white dog, black sheep, goldfish, teacher, and children are the answers. Martin includes a teacher and a classroom which makes the classroom feel like they are part of the book.
I would definitely read this book to a kindergarten class to help with color recognition and animal recognition. It's interesting how the students in this book are learning colors and animals just like the real students in my classroom would be. I would use this for an art lesson as well as learning the basic standards required to pass kindergarten. I remember reading this book to my brother when he was younger and he loved it and it definitely helped him alot with his colors.
