I'm partial to this installment of the series, naturally, because of the panda.

Third collaboration between Martin and Carle in stories that are basically the same tale with different bears and animals. Signature illustrations from Carle, but how many times can you visit the same well?

Nothing quite like an Eric Carle illustration.

So cute. This book has the perfect illustration of a dreaming child. Could not ask for a better illustration. The half point off is only because it didn’t help me calm Josie (this time)

This is the most depressing one, because endangered species.

Look, I'll be honest, I don't understand the appeal of Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?. The rhythm is not one that I find entertaining, there's no rhyme scheme, and the illustrations are kind of drab in color. But the reality is, kids LOVE this book. I finally conceded and read it during storytime today and got a huge response. The trick will be pretending I'm enjoying it when I'm reading it (which is usually a prerequisite for storytime -- if the reader doesn't like the book, it's a no-go -- but this is so beloved, I guess there's an exception here). For whatever reason, this one is a winner with all ages. I read it to my baby/toddler group today, but know it would be just as popular with preschoolers and even a little older. The mystery remains for me, but I can't deny it's a success where it matters.

We need to own this. Is there a board book version, I hope?

A cute way to introduce the topic of endangered animals to kids.
