"Brown Bear, Brown Bear what
do you see?" Brown Bear replies that he sees a red bird looking
at him.
Then
the red bird is asked what she sees. She sees a yellow duck
looking at her.
The yellow duck sees a blue horse looking at him. The blue horse
is asked what he sees.
He sees a green frog looking at him. When the green frog is asked
what he sees,
he says that he sees a purple cat looking at him.
The purple cat is asked what she sees, and she
says that she sees a white dog looking at her.
The white dog is asked what he sees and he says that he sees a black
sheep looking at him.
When the black sheep is asked what he sees, he says he sees a
goldfish looking at him.
"Goldfish, Goldfish, what do you see?
"I see a teacher looking at me.
"Teacher, Teacher, what do you see?
"I see children looking at me."
The children are then asked what they see and they
recall everything that they saw: a brown bear, a red bird, a yellow
duck,
a blue horse, a green frog, a purple cat, a white dog, a black sheep, a
goldfish, and a teacher looking at them.
Critical
Thinking Questions:
1. Name the different animals that had unusual colors. If you
could be a animal in the story, which animal would you be and
why? What color would you be?
2. If you were in the forrest with Brown Bear, what animals
would you see?
