Great book!.......2007-05-14

An easy to read book with nice pictures. My kids love it.

Absolutely Wonderful.......2006-03-23

My 2-yr-old is so in love with this book. She is fascinated by the simple story and also by the great illustrations. It is one of her must-read bedtime books. It is indeed a "feeling good book", however I think it is only appropriate for children under 4-yrs.

An Okay Book for Babies and Toddlers - a review of "Bright Eyes, Brown Skin".......2006-02-02

This would be a nice book for small children about to head off to preschool for the first time. It shows four darling children as they play and eventually nap at their school.

The artwork is reminiscent of Dick and Jane and is very appealing. As other reviewers have noted, there is very little text. In fact, here is the text from the first 4 pages (see below).

Bright eyes,
Brown skin...
A heart-shaped face,
A dimpled chin.

Now, Amazon has the ages for this book listed as 4 to 8. I would think Baby to beginning preschool would be more appropriate as there is no real story here. In regards to using this book as a beginning reader, I think it would be a miserable choice. Certainly there are not a lot of words, but the one's that *are* here are not suitable for beginners. Words like `heart-shaped' and `dimpled', `ticklish' and `special' are simply too hard.

Three Stars. Wonderful `Dick and Jane' pictures with brown-skinned children. I borrowed this book from the library for my entering-preschooler: 1) because he will be entering soon, and 2) because I am tired of looking at white-only faces in books (even though we are not brown skinned).

Not a great read-aloud, the conversations that can come from discussing the pictures make up for this flaw.

Charming.......2005-11-28

The title of this book might lead you to believe race is a major theme. In fact, it isn't addressed except to note that the characters have brown skin. There is very little text, and what there is describes, in rhyme, physical attributes of the four children as they go about a normal school day.

This book is one of the "Feeling Good" series, written for beginning readers. At least one of the children, Olivia, has appeared in another book. Olivia is actually the daughter of author Bernette Ford. The other characters are Ethan, Alexa, and Jordan.

Illustrations by George Ford (husband of Bernette?) of watercolor or pastel pencil show incredibly cute African American kids with dimples in their cheeks and chins, heart-shaped faces, etc. The book falls into that category of story that could be about anybody, appropriate for all; the characters just happen to be African American.

Beautiful Illustrations, poor story........2005-11-17

I bought this book with the hopes of having a great bedtime story for my kids. I was greatly disappointed. While this book has some of the very best drawings of African American children I have ever seen. It has no story what-so-ever. I'm stunned at the fact that two women are listed under "written by." It took TWO people to write this? I'm in the wrong business!!! If you want a nice story to read to your kids - this book is not for you. But, if you are willing to create your own story based on magnificent illustrations - buy this book. My 2 stars are for the drawings alone. The wording gets a ZERO from me!

"My eyes see. His eyes see. I see him. And he sees me." With text as simple as simple can be, Theo. LeSieg (a.k.a. Theodore Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss) uses humor and rhythm to encourage the very youngest children to discover the joy of reading. A big-eyed boy and a pink-eyed rabbit cavort through the book, seeing everything there is to see: a girl, a horse, an old tin can, the sun, the moon--even pink underpants (which makes them both blush). Rhyming objects give the brief "story" a lilting, happy cadence, and Joe Mathieu's cartoonish colorful pictures provide easy clues to the text. This is a friendly introduction to the wide, wondrous world of seeing and reading.

An offspring of the world-famous Beginner Books, Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners are designed for an even younger age group. Even preschoolers will be inspired to learn to read with these witty, appealing picture books. (Ages 2 to 5) --Emilie Coulter

Book Description

Our eyes see flies.
Our eyes see ants.
Sometimes they see
pink underpants.

Oh, say can you see? Dr. Seuss’s hilarious ode to eyes gives little ones a whole new appreciation for all the wonderful things to be seen!

A great learning experience with a smooth ryming rythm and nice illustrations.......2007-06-26

The thing I like best about this book is that the words and the pictures go together nicely. When the words say "Our eyes see bees," there is a picture of a lot of bees. So, from an educational perspective, you can have your child point to a picture while he or she hears the verbal description of the picture. It's helped my baby lean several words and phrases.

This simple concept is something that a suprising amount of childrens' books lack. It is good for two reasons. It helps them put words to pictures, and it helps them learn to read. The book is for children that are 4-8, but it's ability to help children match the verbal sounds of words to pictures makes it appropriate for infants as well.

The learning potential of the book is enhanced by the rythm of the words. The book's sentences ryme and procede in a rythm that makes the book more enjoyable for your child. My baby is noticeably delighted whenever he sees that we are about to read this book.

It is highly recommended.

Gorgeous illustrations!.......2006-06-24

This is the perfect book for the youngest of Seuss fans. It's a very simply book that starts out with a boy pointing to his eyes and saying what they are...and then to his bunny friend's eyes. The book goes on to explain what eyes do and what they help us see. I thought the pink underpants was a little strange, but they're just kids afterall!

I'm a little surprised that I didn't notice anyone else had harped on its beautiful cover. The cover is absolutely beautiful with its its pretty sea-mint green background and wonderful illustrations. I always thought the boy's eyes looked more like they belonged to the rabbit...they're huge!

To sum it up, it's a cute story about eyes!

Our little eyes love this book!.......2005-07-06

Wonderful book - perfect for our 3 and 2 year old.

Excellent rhymes for young minds.......2005-06-09

I bought this for my daughter when she was about 15 months old and within a couple of weeks she was starting to recite the rhyming words. I believe when the child finds that they can participate in the reading of a book it really increases their interest in reading. I love this book because most of the words are easy everyday ones which we use frequently (even though we may not realise it). Your child will probably know most of the words by sound before you even read this book so I think that will help them to start recognising the words in print once you start reading this book regularly.

A Family Favorite.......2005-02-11

At first, I didn't think this book would be a real winner with my little one. But you just never know, huh? This "Eye" book, written by Dr. Seuss, is read nightly, with all the funny things that eyes can do and see, it proves to be quite interesting. The pink underpants definitely brings some giggles too! It's a pretty short book, one that can be easily memorized by toddlers. The book takes you on a tour of the various things that you can see with your eyes. The boy and the rabbit do everything from looking down holes to looking at the moon. It's quite cute but very basic so if you're looking for something for an older child, I'd pass on this one. The age limit is definitely true as stated above: 2-5.
