I use this book for a one month theme of lesson plans. The children were introduced to colors, numbers, rhyming words, animal sounds etc. At the end of this unit, I had one of my three year students to invite me to sit down to read the book. He read the to me from cover to cover. I know much of it was from my repetition reading the story and his memory,but it was the most fulfilling moment of my life. I knew then without a shadow of a doubt I was purposed to work with preschool age children. (smile and misty).
Brown Bear is such a fun book to read and share with young children. I teaches colors and animals through repeated phrase. It is definitely a pre-K staple.
