About the Author
Eric Carle (1929-2021) was one of America’s leading children’s book illustrators and authors. Author of more than seventy books, his picture book career started when Bill Martin Jr invited him to create the illustrations for Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? That book went on to sell millions of copies worldwide and Eric soon began writing and illustrating his own books, eventually creating the bestselling classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Born in the United States, Eric also spent many of his early years in Germany where he studied typography and graphic art at the Academy of Applied Art in Stuttgart.
Carle was the recipient of many honors including the American Library Association’s Children’s Literature Legacy Award and the Original Art Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society of Illustrators. In addition to writing and illustrating books of his own, he also collaborated on several others, including Bill Martin Jr's Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?, Isaac Bashevis Singer’s Why Noah Chose the Dove, and the Eric Carle and Friends’ What’s Your Favorite picture book series. The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art, which Carle and his wife Bobbie founded, opened in Amherst, Massachusetts in 2002.

4.0 out of 5 stars a classic revisited
This twentieth-anniversary edition of the classic “Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?”, written by beloved children’s author Bill Martin, Jr. and illustrated by the renowned artist Eric Carle, has been updated with a larger format, a reinforced binding, and an accompanying CD of the story read by Gwyneth Paltrow. The book is part of a series of rhythmic, rhyming texts with vibrant, full-color illustrations that introduce toddlers and kindergartners to a host of zoo animals and the sounds they make. In addition to the polar bear, we encounter a lion, hippopotamus, flamingo, zebra, boa constrictor, elephant, leopard, peacock, walrus, and a zookeeper who hears the children as they follow the story with imitations of the animal sounds introduced in the text. It’s a delightful tale sure to engage children and bound to become a favorite bedtime story. The text is large and bold for easy reading by children. However, while the text, drawings, and sensory lessons are most admirable and the book is well worth the price, I have two criticisms. The sounds the animals purportedly make are not always accurate. For example, while lions do, indeed, roar and elephants do trumpet, hippopotamuses do not snort (they grunt, growl, roar, and wheeze), zebras do not bray (they neigh, whinny, and nicker [donkeys bray!]), and peacocks do not yelp (they scream, squawk, and honk). Walruses are the most vocal of the pinnipeds: they growl, tap, knock, grunt, bark, whistle, rasp, and click, but they do not bellow. I’m also concerned about the use of a CD for storytelling. CDs could be useful for older children or for children left to their own devices, but toddlers would benefit most when stories are read to them during bonding sessions with parents, siblings, extended family, and friends. Of course, not all children are lucky enough to have parents or other family members who read to them. These criticisms notwithstanding, “Polar Bear” has many excellent qualities and is recommended. The illustrations alone are worth the price of the book and reading rhymes and evoking sounds are particularly appealing to children. Other books in the series by this dynamic duo include “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?”, “Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do you See?”, and “Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See?”
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect book to give at a baby shower!
I bought this book for my daughters baby shower...it was one of many I bought to give her the gift of a home library for her baby! I know how important reading to your baby/child is and I wanted to make sure my granddaughter had plenty of books to read! This is a board book... great for little hands and perfect until the child is old enough to have real books with thin pages.... this book is a must for every baby!
I love Eric Carle books
The media could not be loaded. This is so cute!!! Worth to buy and my baby loves the animals sounds.
