The book is about the animals in the zoo and the sounds they make, which is a funny rhythm story as well as a great vocabulary builder. |

This is my son Tyler's (17 months) favorite book. He loves the colorful pictures and loves it even more when Mommy tries to make all the animal noises for him! (Ever try to make a yelping peacock or fluting flamingo noise??) No matter how many times I read this book to him, he wants to hear it just one more time... maybe two or three. I especially love the fact that it is about more unusual animals - peacock, flamingo, walrus, as opposed to your everyday dog, cat, cow-type animals. I highly recommend this book, it's a must have! |

The art is wonderful. After reading this book a few times we finger painted and cut out the paper when it was dry. We cut out circles and squares and then glued them on paper and told our own story. I love being able to take a book and do activities that jump off of the book pages. My almost three year old son does too. The story is simple and fun. The repetitive nature of this book makes it great for pre readers. With a little bit of practice your child can memorize the book to 'read' it to others. What an ego boost. I like the last page with all the kids acting out the parts of the animals. One day I will make some masks with my son... enjoy. |

Okay, so you might not be able to make the sounds of the animals (what does a walrus and flamingo really sound like anyway?) but the words they use in this book really help out. With words like "snarling" or "hissing" or "yelping" or trumpeting", it's easy to change your voice and use your body and face to "become" the appropriate animal when you read those words. My 2-year old daughter listened carefully when I read the book for the first time, then took the book and "read" it back to me. Well, she only got the "(animal name), (animal name), what do you see?" as she paged through the book but it only took a few more days before she pretty much memorized all the lines. This only happens with a few books (like The Napping House or Clothesline) so I was pretty surprised. I think it's great for kids to learn other animal names, like peacock and hippopotamus, and other words like for the sounds they make. It gets tiring to always read about puppies and kittens or farm and jungle animals. |

Small children (18 mos-4yrs) will enjoy mimicking the animal sounds and following along with the melody of this tale. The repetition of the story, as with many of Mr. Carle's books, helps my 2-yr old child participate and enjoy the reading experience to the fullest. These are his favorite books. |

Your two and a half year old can read this book by him/herself after you read it with them a few times! It is my daughter's favorite just like the Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? book by the same author. The kids like to peep at the next page and see which animal it next and then read it. They learn a lot of new words from this book such as hissing, braying, bellowing, etc. And the most impressive thing is my daughter has learnt how to pronounce certain hard words from this author's books and she does just fine. At her age, she can actually say "boa constrictor" (one of the animals in the book) very clearly and with such innocence she reads the third last page as follows: "zoo peeker, zoo peeker, what do you hear?" instead of zookeeper zookeeper! Thank you Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle, for creating this book. I have had this book for months and my daughters still love it. It is nothing but the BEST! |

My Kindergarten children have all loved Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. And now Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? is also a favorite. They love the repetition and will soon be chanting long with the reader. Color recognition can be incorporated as well as role playing which is always enjoyable by the children. I am giving this to my two year old greatniece as a gift for her to begin the journey of reading. Yes, I said reading. As a parent reads to their child, they are teaching the child to read along. |

This is a fun interactive book about the animals in the zoo and the sounds they make. It's a great vocabulary builder, since it uses words that small kids may not hear every day. The book is quite enjoyable for kids who like animals, and not at all scary. The story may get kids wound up, however, so it might not be the best choice for a bedtime story. The book has about 200 words. |

My seven-month old loves this book. She has enjoyed it for months. She really likes the sound-effects. They are fun and right on for these animals (although I don't know what a flamingo fluting sounds like, the rest are familiar). This book always makes my daughter smile. |

A few weeks ago, my 13 month old son came home from daycare with this note on his daily sheet "Today we read Polar Bear, Polar, What Do You Hear over and over again. Everytime I tried to read him another book, he would push it away and point to Polar Bear". Every day since this, his daily sheet has ended with "...and we read Polar Bear" My son has favorite books at home and since he enjoys this one so much, I wanted to add it to our collection. I also ordered the Brown Bear and Panda Bear books, hoping he will like them just as much. |
