The
Cat in the Hat Deluxe Edition (Classic Seuss)
by Dr. Seuss
Hardcover from Random House Books for Young Readers
Media Published: 1997-11-11
ISBN: 0679891110
Deluxe Edition, slipcased, with gift card for avid and soon-to-be Seuss
fans of all ages!
The Cat in the Hat came to play one rainy, nothing-to-do afternoon.
His hilarious antics are "recommended for all libraries."--School Library
Journal, starred review
He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt,
turn to the story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into
a magical and just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure,
too: this book really will help children learn to read. With his simple
and often single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing:
hear it, learn it, read it--laughing all the way. The Cat in the Hat
is a must for any child's library. |

One
Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
by Dr. Seuss, Seuss
Hardcover from Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco
Media
ISBN: 0606042385
This title is part of the "Dr. Seuss Classic Collection".
"Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on
your head?" Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this
well-loved classic by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel. While many rhymes in
this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss's intention
is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and
educational. It matters little that each wonderful vignette has nothing
to do with the one that follows. (We move seamlessly from a one-humped
Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon
their heads.) Children today will be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes
as they have been since the book's original publication in 1960--so amused
and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read!

Mr.
Brown Can Moo, Can You : Dr. Seuss's Book of Wonderful Noises (Bright and
Early Board Books)
by Dr. Seuss
Board book from Random House Books for Young Readers
Media Published: 1996-11-26
ISBN: 0679882820
Hears an introduction for babies to the wonderful mishmash world
of sounds. Listen to the cow's moo, the frying eggs' sizzle, and the thunder's
boom boom boom. There are plenty of noises for everyone!
Oh, the wonderful things Mr. Brown can do! In this "Book of Wonderful
Noises," Mr. Brown struts his stuff, as he imitates everything from popping
corks to horse feet ("pop pop pop pop" and "klopp klopp klopp," respectively)
while inviting everyone to join him in the fun. Young readers who are still
learning their sounds and letters will get a wacky workout as they follow
along with the very serious-looking, squinty-eyed Mr. Brown. Whether it's
eggs frying in a pan or a hippo chewing gum, the skillful Mr. Brown just
keeps topping himself, with a "sizzle sizzle" or a "grum grum grum." "Mr.
Brown is so smart he can even do this: he can even make a noise like a
goldfish kiss!... pip!" As usual, the words and pictures of Dr. Seuss make
reading (and making all sorts of funny noises) impossible to resist. Mr.
Brown Can Moo! Can You? will stay fresh through many a giggling reading.

The
Tale of Ginger and Pickles (Potter)
by Beatrix Potter
Hardcover from Warne
ISBN: 0723247870
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions
of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings
of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as
close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from
modern printing and design techniques.
The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced
more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise
damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The
Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations.
Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and
two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many
memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten,
Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children
and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations,
while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely
true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure. |
