Exuberantly coloured artwork and favourite animals make this rhythmic story the perfect introduction to looking and learning about colours. Each spread leads seamlessly into the next and young children will delight in Eric's colourful collage of animals and simple repetitive language.

一本充满各种动物和鲜亮色彩的图画书，一问一答的句型琅琅上口，重复着明快的节奏和韵律。动物们你看我，我看你，就在这个有趣的循环里，孩子们逐一认识了动物的名字，和他们斑斓的色彩。

Brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?

I see a red bird looking at me ..

这些句子读起来郎朗上口——《棕熊，棕熊，你在看什么？》是《好饿的毛毛虫》的作者艾瑞-卡尔的第一本图画书。

它的文字作者，儿童教育家和语言学博士Bill Martin Jr. 找到了当时在给广告公司做设计的艾瑞-卡尔，提出自己想请他画这样一本儿童书。

艾瑞-卡尔读过这些句子之后，欣然接受，并由此开始了自己的儿童书创作生涯。

这本书不仅教孩子们在韵文当中学会了许多动物名称，还让他们自然而然地认识了各种色彩。红色的鸟、黄色的大鸭子、白色的猫、黑色的狗……

单纯明晰的色彩和画面，十分有趣。

His gentle, glowing collages are satisfying for parent and child The Times
