From School Library Journal
A worthy successor to Bill Martin's Brown Bear, Brown Bear , What Do You See? (Holt, 1983). With its patterned response to the title, "What did you see?," and the accompanying lead-in picture showing part of a farmyard animal, this book immediately draws children into the story. The lively, unspoken storyline of a shock-headed toddler playing silly games with the animals he meets and gradually shedding his shoes, socks, and jacket fills out the spare text for beginning readers. The accumulating line of animals marching in wild sweeping patterns across the page gives viewers a bouncy, flowing experience from page to page. With only six animals, the story is brief; the watercolors, while predominantly realistic in tone and anatomical detail, have an exaggerated roundness and glow that give a fanciful turn to the naming story. The animals and toddler become progressively more animated, until story's end, which features a two-page, wordless spread reminiscent of Max's "wild rumpus" in Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are . The focus on the pages is clearly on the short text and the characters, making for a simple yet active experience for beginning readers and very young listeners. --Ruth K. MacDonald, Purdue University Calumet, Hammond, IN

This review is from: I Went Walking (Board book)
My 21 month old daughter absolutely loves this book. I sing it to her when we go out on walks and she likes to add her own sentences, too (I'll say: "I went walking. What did you see? I saw a (and she fills in this part) looking at me.") The illustrations are fun and the simplicity of the book makes it highly appealing.

This review is from: I Went Walking (Board book)
the pictures don't make me go WOW but the animals are clear and both my kids have loved this book -- the secret may be in adding animal noises and in changing the words to inlcude thier names (Carmen went walking, what did she see?)But a favrourite to be sure
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: I Went Walking (Board book)
This is just like the Brown Bear book. I love Julie Vivas' illustrations. Repetitive text makes it easy for your child to read with you (or to you!).
