Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?

Bill Martin's playful story combining animals, colours and sounds, beautifully illustrated by Eric Carle, now appears in a chunky board-book format. A simple rhymthic text introduces the reader to a menagerie of wild animals from a roaring lion to a fluting flamingo and a trumpeting elephant.

Review: Carle's books all have an educational element - they teach about animals, numbers, colours and nature - but a big part of their appeal is that they are not didactic or laboured, but light and entertaining. There's warmth and humour there too * Junior *
The natural history is a source for smiles, the illustrations in collage and paint are little works of art * Times Educational Supplement *
What a spectacular picture book! . . . A treat for all ages * Books for Keeps *
