Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?

Brown Bear now comes in an interactive board book with 10 sliders that reveal hidden animals.  What's your favorite animal?  Bet you'll find it in here.  As each page is turned a new animal and new color is revealed.

Eric Carle is the creator of more than seventy picture books for young readers. 

Eric Carle was born in New York, USA. However, when he was just six, he moved with his parents to Germany. In 1952, after graduating from the prestigious Akademie der Bildenden KUnste in Stuttgart, he fulfilled his dream of returning to New York. 

Eric Carle has received many distinguished awards and honours for his work, including, in 2003, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his lifetime contribution to children's literature and illustration. 

In 2002, fifty years after Carle's return to the United States, The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art was opened in Amherst, Massachusetts. Here visitors of all ages can enjoy, in addition to Eric Carle's work, original artwork by other distinguished children's book illustrators from around the world.
