With more than two million copies sold, Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do
You See? has opened up a world of learning to a generation of children.
For this edition, created for the twenty-fifth anniversay in 1992, Bill
Martin, Jr., restored his text to its original wording. And Eric Carle
created all new pictures--based on the originals, but clearer, brighter,
and truer to the colors they represent.
Bill Martin has been devoted to writing children's books for more than
thirty years. He has a PhD in early childhood education and he has long
been a proponent of using rhyme and rhythm to teach young children how
to read.
Eric Carle, illustrator of many beloved children's books, was born in
the United States, but spent his early years in Stuttgart, Germany,
where he studied art and design at the Academy of Applied Art. Brown
Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? was the first book he illustrated.
