About this deal

A Caldecott Honor Book. Gerald McGrew visits a zoo and finds that the animals are "not good enough" and describes how he would run the zoo. He would let all of the current animals free and find new, more bizarre and exotic ones.

Gertrude McFuzz: The "girl-bird" Gertrude McFuzz has one small, plain tail feather and envies Lolla-Lee-Lou, who has two fancy tail feathers. Oh, the words Dr. Seuss almost got away with if his publisher didn’t catch his sneaky prank! Random House Books for Young ReadersIn 1936, Geisel and his wife were returning from an ocean voyage to Europe when the rhythm of the ship's engines inspired the poem that became his first children's book: And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street. [35] Based on Geisel's varied accounts, the book was rejected by between 20 and 43 publishers. [36] [37] According to Geisel, he was walking home to burn the manuscript when a chance encounter with an old Dartmouth classmate led to its publication by Vanguard Press. [38] Geisel wrote four more books before the US entered World War II. This included The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins in 1938, as well as The King's Stilts and The Seven Lady Godivas in 1939, all of which were in prose, atypically for him. This was followed by Horton Hatches the Egg in 1940, in which Geisel returned to the use of verse. Hop on Pop was different from any of the other phonics readers I looked at. To begin with the story makes sense. We immediately like the characters whose expressions show an astounding range of emotion. Best of all Suess uses vocabulary an emerging reader can sound out independently. Hop on Pop provides simple rhymes to help beginner reading, such as a character named Pat who sits on a hat, a cat, a bat and must not sit on that (which is a cactus). Shows a variety of characters and teaches sentence composition. Jenkins, Tiara; Yarmosky, Jessica (February 26, 2019). "Dr. Seuss Books Can Be Racist, But Students Keep Reading Them". NPR.org .

Sam-I-Am consistently pesters an unnamed character (who is also the narrator; later named Guy-Am-I in the 2019 animated series) to try green eggs and ham. The unnamed character refuses to eat the food, insisting that he would not like it until the end. Adapted into a 1973 television special and a 2019 animated series, both by Warner Bros.

This sturdy, abridged board-book adaptation of Dr. Seuss's The Many Mice of Mr. Brice shows twenty-six mice in action, introducing the youngest readers to fun words and word play, from dancing and singing, to trombone playing and whisker growing. Geisel evidently enjoyed drawing architecturally elaborate objects, and a number of his motifs are identifiable with structures in his childhood home of Springfield, including examples such as the onion domes of its Main Street and his family's brewery. [94] His endlessly varied but never rectilinear palaces, ramps, platforms, and free-standing stairways are among his most evocative creations. Geisel also drew complex imaginary machines, such as the Audio-Telly-O-Tally-O-Count, from Dr. Seuss's Sleep Book, or the "most peculiar machine" of Sylvester McMonkey McBean in The Sneetches. Geisel also liked drawing outlandish arrangements of feathers or fur: for example, the 500th hat of Bartholomew Cubbins, the tail of Gertrude McFuzz, and the pet for girls who like to brush and comb, in One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. Other options include the Cat in the Hat holding a fish bowl (fish included!) at Books-A-Million, while the mischievous Cat holding an umbrella with a cake on top of his hat is issued exclusively through BoxLunch.

One of Hop on Pop’s most notable advocates is former United States First Lady Laura Bush, who listed the book as her favourite in a 2006 Wall Street Journal article. Bush said this book with its illustrations and rhymes delighted her and her husband George and their daughters Barbara and Jenna after reading it.

[8] In 1984, he won a Pulitzer Prize Special Citation. His birthday, March 2, has been adopted as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative focused on reading created by the National Education Association. What's cool about it is how it's a grammar book in disguise. The kids I read this too are young toddlers, busy constructing simple sentences and learning vocabulary and prepositions, so this is quite timely I think. It shows all the different combinations - paired with Seuss's trademark lively illustrations - that you can make with a couple of simple words.Geisel went on to write many other children's books, both in his new simplified-vocabulary manner (sold as Beginner Books) and in his older, more elaborate style. The first two Dr. Seuss Bright and Early Books and the final four Dr. Seuss Beginner Books are in one volume. Final Dr. Seuss book not illustrated by Geisel. Levine, Stuart P. (2001). Dr. Seuss.

A boy is approached by numerous strange creatures with enormous gloved hats on their heads. Each "hunch" points out a different possible course of action, with some even contradicting themselves. In 2015, Random House Children’s Books posthumously published a new Dr. Seuss book, titled What Pet Should I Get?, after the manuscript and sketches were found by the author’s widow in the couple’s home. I never encountered Dr. Seuss during my childhood in Germany (and I also do have to wonder whether Dr. Seuss' delightfully fun and often song like poetry would work all that well in translation, and actually in any type of translation). But I do indeed vividly and with very fond nostalgia recall repeatedly and joyfully using his, using Dr. Seuss' 1963 board book Hop on Pop (which I had found in the school library) in 1976, in grade four, to practice English language prepositions and basic present and past tense verb forms (after having immigrated to Canada from Germany with my family) and indeed finding Hop on Pop a lot more fun, a lot more engaging and above all also a lot more prepositions and basic English grammar retaining than the bone dry and tedious work sheets that my homeroom teacher kept shoving at me (ha, ha, and notice the propositional phrase at me) and how Mrs. Hopkins was both annoyed with and aghast at me preferring Dr. Seuss and Hop on Pop to her boring grammar worksheets, as according to both my teacher (and unfortunately also according to my parents), a ten year old should not be reading ANY board books, period (neither for pleasure nor for learning purposes). But well, I say absolute and total utter BS to and for that kind of an attitude, to and for board books supposedly only ever being suitable and useable for younger readers (toddlers), and indeed, when I was teaching ESL classes for adults at the college/university level (about a decade ago), Hop on Pop in particular was really and massively popular with my ALL of my students, we had loads and loads of fun with the book and that the chanting of the entire class reciting Hop on Pop together really did help my students to retain the prepositions Dr. Seuss textually features (up, on, in, off, after) and that following a preposition, one needs to use an object and not a subject pronoun (him, her, me instead of he, she, I). And while Hop on Pop might not present an actual plot with a beginning, a middle and an end, Dr. Seuss poetically celebrating with Hop on Pop word sounds, basic prepositions and verb forms and tenses, this is fun, a delightful, a totally wonderful and creative, marvellous language learning tool, and most definitely shiningly and glowingly five stars.
