Bill Martin Jr. is a genius when it comes to speaking to children in a language they can understand. He infuses a rhythm into his text unlike any other author (see Chicka Chicka Boom Boom). This is yet another masterpiece of read aloud potential. The simple dynamic of asking brown bear what he sees, and then describing what he sees, ties into the tools of rhyme and repetition to help with early literacy development.
