Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What do You See? By Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle

I remember reading this book when I was younger and I picked it up because I remembered that it rhymed. Going through it again I was visualizing the entire book as a big poem. It flows so easily and each page ties into the following page. The sentences are simple and short so this would be a good book to read to younger children or have them read by themselves. Due to the amount of animals that are mentioned in the book would also make it a good book to use in a science unit when studying animals.
The illustrations were done by Eric Carle so they look amazing. The illustrations are bright and colorful. With the way the illustrations seem to be created with paint strokes. By having the paint strokes in the illustrations it almost seemed to give them texture. Overall this is a fun book to share with a class, it gives them an idea of what poetry is like, exposes them to a wide variety of animals, and is eye catching with it's bring illustrations.
