Welcome to Pre-K Pages!

I’m Vanessa Levin, a curriculum writer, early childhood teacher, consultant, public speaker, and author. I help busy Pre-K and Preschool teachers plan effective and engaging lessons, create fun, playful learning centers, and gain confidence in the classroom.

When you think of classic preschool picture books, several come to mind. But Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr. must be one of the top books on every list. The simple repetitive text and the great illustrations by Eric Carle make this book a favorite from year to year. After reading this book with your preschoolers, use the activities below to retell the story, explore colors, or develop literacy skills.
