Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?

Summary: My son loves this book!
Review: A few weeks ago, my 13 month old son came home from daycare with this note on his daily sheet "Today we read Polar Bear, Polar, What Do You Hear over and over again. Everytime I tried to read him another book, he would push it away and point to Polar Bear". Every day since this, his daily sheet has ended with "...and we read Polar Bear" My son has favorite books at home and since he enjoys this one so much, I wanted to add it to our collection. I also ordered the Brown Bear and Panda Bear books, hoping he will like them just as much.

Summary: content does not match the concept
Review: Being a fan of "Brown Bear, Brown Bear...", I bought this Polar Bear book thinking it would be just as fantastic. However, the obscure animals do not make for good sound affects. While it is easy to hiss like a snake and growl like a polar bear, how do you flute like a flamingo or brey like a zebra? Nonetheless, the book is great for teaching colors and new animals. It has the same charming illustrations that Brown Bear has. (My daughter loves the elephant!) I recommend this book for the vivid colors and pictures, but not for animal sounds. It would compliment your child's book collection wonderfully!

Summary: Big disappointment after Brown Bear, Brown Bear
Review: Given how much my 18-month-old loves "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See" I thought this also would be a great read-aloud book. Wrong! Even though the whole focus of the book is animals making sounds, a large proportion are basically impossible for a human being to imitate: e.g., Hippopotamus, Flamingo, Peacock, Elephant or Walrus. It's a lot easier to just add sound effects to the animals in Brown Bear, almost all of which can be easily imitated.

Summary: Not as great, but still good....
Review: 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....

Summary: the new fave
Review: I bought this book for my 20-month-old daughter a few days ago because she was ready for some new books and really liked Brown Bear, Brown Bear. Well, we've read it about 15 times each day since then. She even took it to bed with her. The pictures are beautiful and it introduces some new animals that we haven't normally talked about. I would definitely recommend it.

Summary: December#9
Review: I enjoyed this book when I was little because of the great pictures and the unique or weirder animals rather than the every day animals. This helps learn more animals and to hear the noises they make. That is one of the most exciting things about this book, people trying to impersonate the noises that a wild animal makes. This also teaches kids what noise each animal makes This book was newer when I was in about forth grade and I liked it then even.

Summary: Great Book, almost as good as Brown Bear!
Review: I give this 5 stars because it is a GREAT book. My daughter loves it. Of course, I do think Brown Bear What do you see is better. But, they are both great to have!
