Review # 1 was written on 2009-09-24 00:00:00 Natalie Walnycky Eric Carle cheapens what once was the great Bear franchise with this egregious piece of dung. After the lyrical, almost mystical revelation that was "Brown Bear, Brown Bear," let's hope this woeful follow-up is relegated to the ashheep of history and Carle is put to death for his heinous crime. Panda Bear, Panda Bear, you know what I see? I see a grotesque exploitation of little children and a soulless money-making machine that needs to be dismantled by anyone who cares about children's literature in the United States. Thanks for making me believe in the magic of make-believe and then dousing me in the cold water of commercial reality. I will be leading a rally against "Panda Bear, Panda Bear" and the Von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, location as yet to be determined, on Christmas Day this year, or sometime thereafter. Please email me for more info. Together, we can make a difference. Thank you. (p.s. - Wait, I meant "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear," not "Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?" I have no opinion on "Panda Bear, Panda Bear" and regret the error.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-03-08 00:00:00 Joe Aleman There are lots of wiggle and stretch opportunities for children in this book, so in our story time we all stood up as we opened to the first page. Panda sees a bald eagle (everyone flap wings, being careful not to bump any friends). Eagle sees a water buffalo (everyone run in place, as if "charging"). Buffalo sees a spider monkey (everyone wave arms as if "swinging"). Monkey sees a green sea turtle (everyone paddle flippers). Turtle sees a macaroni penguin (everyone strut in place--Charlie Chaplin style). Penguin sees a sea lion (everyone clap fins) Sea lion sees a red wolf (everyone tiptoe in place as if sneaking). Wolf sees a whooping crane (everyone stand on one leg). Crane sees a black panther (everyone sit back down). Panther sees the moon --which in the book is a "dreaming child"(everyone close their eyes).
