Editorial Review:

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere. In this hilarious exploration of simple concepts such as colours, numbers and opposites, Dr. Seuss presents a crazy world of boxing Goxes and winking Yinks that drink pink ink! With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide. As the first step in a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Dr. Seuss's best-selling books, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. In response to consumer demand, the bright new cover designs incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels, with the standard paperbacks divided into three reading strands - Blue Back Books for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish belongs to the Blue Back Book range.

MY 2 1/2 YR OLD DAUGHTER LOVES THIS BOOK. SHE HAS LSTENED TO THIS STORY EVERYDAY FOR THE PAST 2 WEEKS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I AM EVEN CONSIDERING TAKING HER TO THE MUSICAL IN NYC.

A Favorite Book for Many 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This book is a favorite of my 3 and 4-year old daughters, as well as two of their girlfriends. It is wonderful. For anyone who has a little girl who likes the color pink, it really hits a nerve... Also, the mother's quote in the book -- "You get what you get and you don't get upset" -- has become a favorite phrase in our house. It is an excellent way to say no in a funny way that diffuses toddler demands. I can't recommend this book enough.

Editorial Review:

Pink, pink, pink. More than anything, Pinkalicious loves pink, especially pink cupcakes. Her parents warn her not to eat too many of them, but when Pinkalicious does . . . she turns pink! What to do?

This sparkling picture book, filled with such favorites as pink bubble gum, pink peonies, pink cotton candy, and pink fairy princess dresses, celebrates all things pink while showing that being yourself is best of all.

Great Addition to Daughter's Personal Library 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is our second Fancy Nancy book. My girls have asked me to read this book to them nearly every evening since we've gotten it two weeks ago. I think they like this one even more than the first one we got (Bonjour, Butterfly). It teaches fancy words like the other book, but also teaches a lesson (that being unique is better than being fancy).

Within reading this book to my 5 year old two times, she already "reads" the book - she doesn't read, yet - as she's memorized various lines according to the illustrations. When she does this I know she loves it!

Editorial Review:

Fancy Nancy is back! And when her family decides to get a dog, she's certain she can be fancier than ever. After all, a papillon—a small, delicate, fluffy dog—is the ultimate accessory. But her family wants a large, plain dog. How unglamorous!

With Fancy Nancy's trademark humor and warmth, Nancy discovers that real fanciness does not depend simply on appearance but more on a genuine joie de vivre, which is a fancy phrase for having lots of fun.

A Fun and Beautiful Bedtime Book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

In this beautifully-illustrated bedtime book, the gorilla steals the key from the zookeeper, letting out all the animals, who follow the zookeeper home to bed.

The story is cute, but what I really loved about this book was the great illustrations. The colors pop out at you from the page and capture your attention.

This book is one of my new bedtime favorites! I can't wait to read it to my son.

A Great Book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

My son loves this book. He really enjoys listening to the stories that his dad makes up about each animal. There aren't too many words, leaving you room to ad-lib it, which is fun! This is one of our many books we tend to read at night.

This has turned into a favorite! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I ordered this book based on the reviews, and when I first introduced it to my son (at 18 months) he didn't go for it. But a year later, this is his favorite bedtime story! Granted, there are very few words in the story...but I think that's actually a good thing. I provide my own narrative based on the pictures, and I ask my son questions about what he sees as we go through the book. He really enjoys identifying the animals in the story, and his favorite thing is pointing out where the balloon is on every page. On the first page of the story, a balloon is released into the air. In subsequent pages, the balloon gets smaller and smaller as it floats away. It's a nice added bonus to this story. I really recommend this story!

Editorial Review:

It's bedtime at the zoo and the zoo keeper is locking the animals up for the night and wishing them goodnight. But the gorilla has pinched the zoo keeper's keys and he'd rather sleep in a comfy bed than in a cage!

a fun and light read! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

my 19 month old still loves this book.. at around 13 months he would come to me with the book and tell me 'mom MOOO' ... then we'd read the book together, he loves the animals and the words are so easy to memorise so even though we read it a million times (cuz he loves it that much) i can do other things while still reading him the story by heart as he turns each page.
Also , because it is a nice light read I don't mind reading it over and over again as young children seem to constantly want! :)

Fond memories 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I'm now an adult and have very fond memories of this book (as well as Boynton's other books). My parents read this to me as an infant and I loved it. I will take great pleasure in sharing her books with my own children when I have them.

Favorite book for our 9 month old 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This is an absolute favorite for our 9-month old son. He loves to turn the pages and squeals in delight when he sees "some other dogs go BOW WOW WOW". Highly recommend this short but funny book!

Editorial Review:

Children will love joining in and imitating the animal noises and sounds in this big, bold board book format, illustrated with Sandra Boynton's seriously silly signature animals.

What DO you do with a tail like this? 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

A very beautifully illustrated smart book, WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A TAIL LIKE THIS helps kids think outside the box. My 3 year old daughter found it interesting the some creature have ears, mouth, etc. in other place then us humans. The book that starts with a question ends with wanting to ask more questions like the one my daughter asked, "Why do flies have 6 legs and spiders have 8?" I really couldn't answer why but I think this book helped her be more observant.

Interestingly beautiful illustrations help grab attention too, that was the reason I purchased this book in first place. The artist captures every necessary detail with his unique, almost surreal style which permeates throughout the book.

Wonderful book! 5 out of 5 stars.

I bought this book for my preschool classroom. The kids can't get enough of it and they love guessing which tail belongs to which animal. It's a great early reader for them too!

Editorial Review:

A nose for digging? Ears for seeing? Eyes that squirt blood? Explore the many amazing things animals can do with their ears, eyes, mouths, noses, feet, and tails in this beautifully illustrated interactive guessing book by Steve Jenkins and Robin Page.

The Dr.'s Inspiring Masterpiece 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby

While most Dr. Suess stories are pure fun without any heavy message, The Lorax delivers an extremely blunt lesson on ecology. What's amazing is that Dr. Suess does this with a narrative that is engaging, entertaining and ultimately inspiring. You might think a book with such a heavy message could be a turn-off to young children, but I have found the opposite. My preschoolers find this story absorbing. I think they understand there is something truly important at stake, so the book means more to them than other Dr. Suess titles.

Human-environmental interaction 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I could not wait to present this lesson to the class this year. Teaching seventh grade and the 5 themes of geography this book lends itself to many of those themes but mostly human-environmental interaction (how human interact and change the environment to fit their needs). Not only does this book show that but it really visualizes how we negatively impact the Earth for our own selfish needs. Again my students are in love with the facts that I am reading them a storybook and after the discussion they see that it isn't a plain, old storybook but it really does have a significant meaning.

Editorial Review:

Illus. in full color. "The big, colorful pictures and the fun images, word plays and rhymes make this an amusing exposition of the ecology crisis."--School Library Journal.

The First "Home Alone" Drama 5 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Two small children, left home alone on a deary, rainy day, are startled by a home intruder--a giant, talking feline who proceeds to trash the house! This book should have damaged us forever, but it remains deliriously funny. It is left to the fish to be the voice of responsibility and everyone knows fishes are all wet!

This 1957 book brought compelling drama and conflict to the easy reader section of the library. The glimpse through the window shows that the mother is returning! What will she find? Thing 1 and Thing 2 running through the house, banging their kites around? Disaster! No spoilers in this review...get your own copy!

Although this has been made into a movie and an audio tape, I point out that although it's a great story, it's meant to be a book that the child can read. Translating it into other media is a bit like cheating.

Editorial Review:

To accompany the release of the live action movie of The Cat in the Hat, starring Mike Myers, HarperCollins are proud to present Dr. Seuss's original, classic tale of the coolest, hippest cat in history!When the Cat in the Hat steps in on the mat, Sally and her brother are in for a roller-coaster ride of havoc and mayhem! The Cat can rescue them from a dull rainy day, but it means lots of thrills and spills along the way. The wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat is one of the most popular characters in children's fiction, and this book is ideal for budding readers to tackle on their own.

Fun for kids and adults! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I forgot how much I loved this book until I began reading it for my 3-year-old. She loves it, and I love reading it to her (unlike the ELMO books which our daughter loves and I dread). You really can't go wrong with Dr. Seuss. The illustrations are imaginative and the writing is really a work of genius in children's literature. I can't recommend this highly enough.

The Greatest American Philosopher 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

As a mom of a 24 and an 8 year old (I know . . . big surprise) I am firmly of the opinion that Dr. Seuss is the greatest American philosopher! In this book he urges us to try things that we may be afraid of or even repelled by. Many folks think this book applies only to food but I think he is urging us to be more brave in all avenues of life. We need to listen to those around us urging us expand our horizons. I believe that if we go for it and 'take a bite of the egg and ham' then we too will say "Thank you, thank you Sam-I-am."

Editorial Review:

Do you like green eggs and ham? If so, you'll love them with flaps and stickers! Flip the flaps to see where those green eggs and ham will pop up next! All the fun and charm of the original book is here in this interactive version of Dr. Seuss's classic Green Eggs and Ham!

Children's Bible 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This Bible is written in a way that makes the Scriptures come to LIFE for children. I cannot help but getting teary when I read it as well. The words do not deviate from the Truth of the Bible, but only enhance it. There are so many things that are articulated so clearly the way God had intended them to be understood in this book. Kids love it, it's full of great pictures and words.

Read it from beginning to end!

Editorial Review:

"The Jesus Storybook Bible" tells the story beneath all the stories in the Bible. At the center of the story is a baby, the child upon whom everything will depend. Every story whispers his name. From Noah to Moses to the great King David - every story points to him. He is like the missing piece in a puzzle - the piece that makes all the other pieces fit together. From the Old Testament through the New Testament, as the story unfolds, children will pick up the clues and piece together the puzzle. A Bible like no other, "The Jesus Storybook Bible" invites children to join in the greatest of all adventures, to discover for themselves that Jesus is at the center of God's great story of salvation - and at the center of their story too.
