Poohray pahloo, poohray pahloo, tainu kee disiya?
(Translation inspired by Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See
written by Bill Martin, Jr.)
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? is a beloved children's storybook that is familiar
to kids everywhere. The story below is a translation inspired by the original book by Bill Martin,
Jr. Since most students already know the story and animals well, they can quickly learn the
Punjabi names for the animals and colors. The pacing guide suggests ideal times to share the
colors and animals with the class, which also provides opportunities to read the story aloud
together. To make the storytelling experience more interactive for students and enhance their
learning, we encourage incorporating hand gestures and actions while narrating the tale.
