What is Polar Bear, Polar Bear, what Do You Hear? about?

What does a polar bear hear? Follow a lively parade of zoo animals as each one listens for the next: a roaring lion, a trumpeting elephant, a fluting flamingo and more. With rhythmic, repeating words, children can join in, predict what comes next and make each animal’s sound. Eric Carle’s bold, colourful illustrations bring the noisy menagerie to life in this playful introduction to animals, sounds and early language development.
