Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is a classic 1967 children’s picture book written by Bill Martin Jr. and illustrated by Eric Carle. Using simple, rhythmic text and bold collage art, the book introduces toddlers to colors and animals through a repetitive, sing‑song format that encourages early literacy and visual learning.
