"Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?" by: Eric Carle 1967 Interpretations (child vs. adult) Perspectives.

The children's book: "Brown Bear Brown Bear What Do You See?" takes the reader on a ride-a-long with a curious brown bear. The reader see's what the bear see's and learn to identify the other animals by their appearances. The book has many brilliant illustrations focused on varying features of the animals. The colors, and the species of the animals are all different and serve as their identifiers.  I believe that the illustrations are teaching young readers about literary elements such as characterization and identification. For a reference to my readers, I have included a link from ReadWriteThink.org that further explains the process of characterization and how the authors develops a character. It also discusses the process of how students can recognize literary devices like character development and traits.
