This wonderful compilation CD brings together the beloved first three Bear books—Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?; Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?; and Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See?—and includes the newest addition, Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See? The stories are read with warmth and humor by Academy Award-winning actress and mother Gwyneth Paltrow.
Brown Bear & Friends CD Reviews:
Yessssssssssss!!! a great buy, 8 books in one cd, plus bonus! 
2008-11-26 - I would like this to be a practical review, because I almost don't buy this CD, since there is not much info about it and the tracks are not detailed, but it's oh so worth it!
**First four tracks are the books in English (Brown Bear, Polar Bear, Panda Bear, and Baby Bear)
**Tracks 5-8 are all four books in Spanish (It doesn't state whose voice it is, but she sounds like a native speaker, the lady is actually funnier than Gwyneth!)
**Track 9 is Bill Martin Jr. himself reading "Brown Bear" (I didn't like it, but it's interesting)
**Tracks 10 and 11 are interviews with Eric Carle.
So, I hope this helps! and, don't hesitate, go ahead and buy it! Think about it, you can look at the book you have, and hear the audio in Spanish, it's a great learning tool.
18 month old granddaughter loved this
2008-10-24 - My young grandaughter was mesmerized by the songs and words. A great gift for young children.
THIS BEARS REPEATED LISTENINGS !
2008-05-03 - As much as I enjoy audio books I'll admit that my initial reaction to this one wasn't overly enthusiastic. The first in this series was written forty-some years ago, and has captivated generations. It has been reprinted almost countless times in a variety of editions. The Bear stories are known and loved by millions.
To top that, what could these stories possibly be without seeing Eric Carle's iconic illustrations?
I learned the answer to that question with the first few minutes of this reading by Academy-Award winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow. She offers a warm, winning narration of the Bear stories that enchants both young and older ears. So captivating is her voice and delivery that the stories come to life in listener's minds as if for the first time.
It's a special treat to have all of the tales available on one CD, there couldn't be a more perfect bedtime story.
