My students (age 3-6) LOVE this book. I am a little more curious about the monkey/teacher thing because this popped out at my students right away.<br /><br />Originally, my school did not have this book. I just started at the school and had not yet purchased it. A student brought it in with a CD/song and the kids fell in love with it. In that version, it has a teacher at the end. When I purchased the book, I didn't look at it first, began reading it to the students (who already knew the song) and we were surprised to find a monkey in place of the teacher. Needless to say, I have been known as "Teacher Monkey" ever since. I'm just curious as to whether there is a particular reason for the change from teacher-->monkey in the later UK edition. Was it just to change the text a bit to make it different? Was it something different? Either way, it made a pleasant surprise for us.Matt Bronsilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03444078715858486289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591751013044905216.post-10470108362525234202012-01-31T06:27:32.142-05:002012-01-31T06:27:32.142-05:00Happy 45th Birthday to Brown Bear.

I was given our library's copy which is quite old and battered(copyright196?), I also have a smaller one that has a pink elephant I was given that one from the reading teacher(copyright 197?), and I have two that are made recently.(one for school and one for my own six year old at home)<br /><br />I use the copies at school to show that nothing is ever "done", that the more you learn the better. Of course they know the book, but is always fun to see the students reaction to the pink elephant, or the Mother at the end. Thank you for the beautiful books you have given to us to work with.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849439564077729953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591751013044905216.post-43116269121431044182011-01-01T20:25:49.162-05:002011-01-01T20:25:49.162-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849439564077729953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591751013044905216.post-89037513639397519352010-11-16T04:44:10.596-05:002010-11-16T04:44:10.596-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.xiamenb2c02https://www.blogger.com/profile/00384801771423779297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6591751013044905216.post-69539228849128840582010-06-30T18:43:36.114-04:002010-06-30T18:43:36.114-04:00As a future teacher, I find this very interesting....As a future teacher, I find this very interesting.
