wonderful chidlren's story--with only one issue... 4 out of 5 stars.
8 of 9 people found this review helpful.

The Cat In The Hat Comes Back (beginner books) is a great book for children just learning to read. The child is introduced to words that rhyme and the letters of the alphabet. The focus is clearly on children since the entire short story takes place while two young children are left at home while their mother goes "to the town." Moreover, the illustrations are wonderful.

The action begins when the two kids, one boy and one girl, are shoveling snow while their mother runs errands. Naturally, The Cat In The Hat returns to do more mischief and, quite conveniently, set up a story that teaches children the alphabet and rhyming words. After the cat makes a mess in the bathtub we are introduced to all his little helpers who are named from A to Z--great alphabet lesson! The story is made amusing for small children because the pink mess in the tub goes to their mother's dress, the wall and eventually all the snow outside! It's a silly premise; but it'll work for young children just learning to read. They'll like the humor of this.

Of course, Seuss also inserts plenty of words to teach children more vocabulary. Children are introduced to words like cold and warm, fun and done, dig and pig, news and shoes, whose and news--and more! Excellent!

I cannot help but notice that some people felt that the use of guns in the story (they help take away the pink snow mess) might lead children to conclude that guns are "OK." Unfortunately, these people have a good point. Dr. Seuss could have and should have used another method instead of guns to clean away the pink snow mess. I will take off one star for this: I would take off more but the rest of the book is so thoughtfully done that I can't go lower on my rating.

Overall, I recommend The Cat In The Hat Comes Back for parents to use as a tool to help very young children learn to read. The kids will love it; and hopefully some fond memories will be made when you sit down and read this with your children. I also recommend that you mention that guns are bad and maybe add that the guns in this book were special in that they couldn't hurt anybody.

All in all, great job, Dr. Seuss!

More fun for me then the Kids 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

I work with children all the time. The book itself they didn't find as fun as I did, but they have enjoyed a few of the recipes. I enjoyed the whole thing. The recipes aren't always great, but with a little bit of tweaking they were great.

Fun and Healthy Cookbook 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I was surprised by this cookbook. My son brought it home from school and we used it to combine reading and cooking. He had fun reading the recipe titles and helping me cook the recipes. But, what really sold me on this cookbook, was that the recipes were healthy - many times cookbooks for cooking with kids are high in sugar and fat so that the kids will "like" the end product. However, this cookbook has great tasting recipes that are also healthy.

Editorial Review:

Ever wonder what green eggs and ham really taste like? They're yummy. And now everyone can whip up a batch for themselves using this fabulous cookbook. Filled with simple, scrumptious, wacky recipes for such foods as Cat in the Hat Pudding and Moose Juice and Schlopp, this unique cookbook will have the whole family hamming it up in the kitchen.  Each recipe is accompanied by the original verse that inspired it, and the pages are laminated to protect against getting splatters of Sneetch Salad, Oobleck, and Solla Sollew Stew.

Great interactive book 5 out of 5 stars.

Great for babies and my 2 year old likes it, too. There are different things to feel on every page, not just the same thing in a different color. And there are just the right amount of words, and the rhymes are really cute. I highly recommend this book.

excellent book 5 out of 5 stars.

Our son loves this book and so do we. We really enjoy reading it to him and it doesn't get boring like many other books. We got it when he was 6 months and now he is 11 months and he picks it all the time for us to read. I look for other books hoping they will be just as good but so far this is his absolute best. We very much reccomend it!

Editorial Review:

From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!
This touch-and-feel book invites babies and toddlers to pet and play with the most imaginative pets of all. Based on Dr. Seuss’s celebrated classic, this book of pettable pets has fur, feathers, flaps, slide tabs, and cardboard rings to ring Dr. Seuss’s adorable antlered Gack! From the Zed with just one hair on its head and the Wink that likes to drink pink ink, to the bluehaired pet that is fun to brush–the whole family will love bringing these

Delightful 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a delight for kids and adults. It's fun to read out loud, with goofy creature names like yottle, nooth grush and quimney. I've read it many times to my two kids without getting tired of it. The artwork is fun and playful. What else would you expect from Dr. Seuss?

All right book, rhyming book with creatures, but a bit pointless 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.

My 4 year old daughter is quite interested in this book but doesn't really like it. She keeps hoping, (I think) that there is more too it.

The joy in this book is that it is all about rhymes, nureau's in the bureau, tellar, sellar, bellar etc in the cellar and so on. Which is a nice early rhyme style story - learning about sounds and I guess you could say the texture and rules of language. However the story is almost pointless. Some of these animals are good and some aren't - but it is difficult to tell while - the Nofa on the Sofa is apparently an animal he doesn't like, but it just appears to be reading a book quietly.

I found the illustrations a bit unsatisfying as well. They are in colour, but when I compare them to the glorious detail of Horton Hatches an Egg (which is only coloured in three colours) then the Wocket in the Pocket does not match by any stretch of the imagination.

It is a simple easy story to rattle off at bedtime, it teaches rhyme but it doesn't inspire my children.

A host of inventive creatures help beginning readers recognize many common household words. Full-color illustrations.

The perfect first book 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This was one of the first books I purchased for my son. As a small infant (1-3 months old) he would get bored with other books, but the shapes and bright colors in this book kept him interested. It was the only book he'd pay attention to until he was 4 or 5 months old.

Even now, at the age of 11 months, it's his favorite. It is short and the shapes captivate very young babies and toddlers alike. When he's grumpy, this is my go to book to make him happy. He likes the fact that there are not too many words on the pages, and he'll turn the pages himself. With wordier books, he'll get bored and turn the page long before I'm finished reading.

I'm not sure this would be a great book to purchase for an older toddler, but I would make sure to add this to any infant's book collection.

Editorial Review:

Subtitled "Dr. Seuss's Surprising Word Book," The Shape of Me and Other Stuff certainly lives up to its billing. In this delightful book, first published in 1973, kids are encouraged to ponder shapes they may never have considered before: "Just think about the shape of beans and flowers and mice and big machines!" Dr. Seuss's illustrations are in silhouette (for the purpose of accenting the outlines of figures), but are nonetheless up to par with his usual wacky, amusing style. Soaring well beyond the mundane arena of circles, triangles, and squares, here we are challenged to consider "the shape of camels … the shape of bees and the wonderful shapes of back door keys!" Kids will love the silly rhymes and funny pictures, and parents will appreciate this original take on the largely untapped world of shapes. (Baby to preschool)

A Great Primer for More Advanced Readers - a review of "I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today!" 4 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

"I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today!" is a fun Dr. Seuss book which contains three stories and 1365 words. The book's Accelerated Reading designation is given as 2.9 which means the text is suitable for children reading at an advanced Second Grade level. [2.9 translates as a book that an "average" child should be able to read when in the 9th month of 2nd Grade. It can be enjoyed by people of any age, of course.]

At our house the stories were met with almost universal praise from both the 6 and 8 year old. And what's nice about Seuss books, besides the rampant craziness, is the fact that children often forget how many words they are reading as they work away at finding out what happens.

Summary ::: A fun Seuss reader which contains three stories. The AR designation is 2.9 but the word-magic of story and rhyme makes this book appropriate for non-reading children as well.

Do you really want George Costanza reading to your kids? 1 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I love Dr. Seuss, and especially Green Eggs and Ham, but I do not like to hear it in Jason Alexander's voice! The recording was very distracting for my son (age 2), who kept looking at the stereo instead of the book. He prefers mommy or daddy to read the book to him. Also, I did not realize this book was paperback, not hardcover, which means it will be destroyed very quickly. Buy the hardcover with no CD instead -- the CD is worthless.

Children's book 5 out of 5 stars.

Popular wtih my under 5 year olds 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

I am not quite sure what is most appealing to my children, the rhymes or the ridiculously whimsical illustrations - they love the Zike-bike and the zumblezay the best. My 2 year old goes around singing the word 'Zumblezay'over and over so just the sound of it is obviously appealing.

I am not sure I like the concept of it much - it is telling Marvin K Mooney to go - and in no uncertain terms ("Just go go go please do do do") for instance

HOwever the book is effective in so many ways - it really interests my kids and they enjoy browsing it on their own. It has a nice rhyme to it which changes its cadence in parts adding emphasis and interest. It has the fun and whimsical illustrations which strange contraptions so loved by Dr Seuss and generations of children.

It might not be the best 'message' but I think that is lost in the sheer good fun of the writing and illustration. My kids enjoy it and so do I.

Editorial Review:

Oh, why won't Marvin K. Mooney just please go now? In this 1972 classic for "beginning beginners," Dr. Seuss devotes his rhymes to budging the reluctant young Marvin K.: "The time has come. The time is now. Just go. Go. GO! I don't care how." But despite his impatience, our narrator certainly isn't short of ideas on how Marvin could make an exit. "You can go on stilts. You can go by fish. You can go in a Crunk-Car if you wish." Seuss's ever wacky illustrations accompany each new mode of transport, from balloon to broomstick to Bumble-Boat. And if those who are just learning find a word they don't know, chances are Seuss has simply made it up to fill out this ear-pleasing, easy-to-read text. This book is yet another fun and euphonious entry from the good doctor, a silly primer for budding rhymers and readers. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes

The worst translation I've ever seen 1 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This is a put-down to the Spanish language. It is literally translated- word-for-word, and obviously that does not work with any kind of translation. The translator has to use his/her discretion to transmit the message through whatever type of medium they are working with. In this case, Dr. Seuss's writing is playful and rhyming- this translation does not do this book any justice. They should really never have published this. Even as a non-native speaker of Spanish, I know that this translation is not well-done. My suggestion-- go read "Huevos verdes con jamon", which is wonderful.

No Spanish rhyme, but still worthwhile 4 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Even though the Spanish portions don't rhyme, I still found the book a worthwhile tool for working with those gaining proficiency in reading the Spanish language. Because it doesn't go to lengths to make it rhyme, the English concepts are easier for beginners to find in the Spanish wording, and the words are easier to grasp the meaning of without a dictionary.

Editorial Review:

Dr. Seuss. Illustrated in color. The Cat in the Hat came to play on one rainy, nothing-to-do afternoon. His hilarious antics are recommended for all libraries.--School Library Journal.

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

Ten Apples Up on Top is a good introduction to counting and addition for preschoolers. My 3-year-old loves it. He counts the apples on every page and never gets bored. Me, on the other hand - I would have liked the book to have more of a storyline.

Gosh I love this book! 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Three animals compete in the first half of the book to see who can have the most apples on top of their head. During the second half of the book, they escape an angry mob, happily collide with an apple truck, and end up giving the entire town ten apples on their heads as well. (What fun! Ten apples up on top! We are not going to let them drop!)

This is a good book both for early readers, and for young children learning to talk. Very simple, rhyming vocabulary, of the sort with intuitive spellings (so much of English orthography is a mess...!)

Please note that I do not recommend the board book version at all. They cut out the entire second half of the book, as well as good parts of the first half. In addition, the board book is poorly constructed. Just wait and get the real version instead.

Editorial Review:

Since 1961, Ten Apples up on Top has been helping preschoolers learn to count and read simultaneously. Simple illustrations and even simpler rhymes make this apple-balancing competition between a dog, a tiger, and a lion a fun, easy place to practice sight words and phonics. Siblings can even take turns reading phrases like "Seven apples up on top. I am so good they will not drop." The inevitable tumbling crash is a great climax for busy toddlers to enjoy, and parents will appreciate the cooperative lesson the last page offers. (Preschool to early reader) --Jill Lightner
