moreinfo Youre Only Old Once A Book for Obsolete
Subtitled A Book for Obsolete Children, this unusual item in the Seuss canon doesn't really belong among the children's books. Written to celebrate the nonsense master's 82nd birthday, it follows you (an elderly gent in a suit and white moustache) through a physical check-up in some fiendish geriatric clinic. You are measured, prodded, and subjected to all the medical indignities familiar and unfamiliar to the elderly. You must see Dr. Pollen, our Allergy Whiz, who knows every sniffle and itch that there is... He will check your reactions to thumbtacks and glue, catcher's mitts, leaf mould, and cardigans too. Nasturtiums and marble cake, white and blue chalks, anthracite coal and the feathers of hawks. It's clear that the process is going to be long, but much shorter than the bill. The blurb on the back says it all: Is this a children's book? Well... not immediately. You buy a copy for your child now and you give it to him on his 70th birthday. Actually, it would make an amusing gift for anyone over 40. --Richard Farr ....read more

This Fox is a tricky fox. He'll try to get your tongue in trouble. Dr. Seuss gives fair warning to anyone brave enough to read along with the Fox in Socks, who likes to play tongue-twisting games with his friend Mr. Knox. Here's an easy game to play. Here's an easy thing to say.... New socks. Two socks. Whose socks? Sue's socks. But Mr. Fox Socks isn't about to let Knox off so easy. Soon Goo-Goose is choosing to chew chewy gluey blue goo, while tweetle beetles battle with paddles in a puddle (in case you were wondering, that's called a tweetle beetle puddle paddle battle). Mr. Knox gets exasperated: I can't blab such blibber blubber! My tongue isn't made of rubber. But he catches on to the game before it's all through. One of Seuss's best, this must-read-aloud classic is guaranteed to get many giggles out of readers young and old. (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul Hughes ....read more

If I Ran the Zoo Classic Seuss

moreinfo If I Ran the Zoo Classic Seuss
It's a pretty good zoo, said young Gerald McGrew, and the fellow who runs it seems proud of it, too. But if Gerald ran the zoo, the New Zoo, McGrew Zoo, he'd see to making a change or two: So I'd open each cage. I'd unlock every pen, let the animals go, and start over again. And that's just what Gerald imagines, as he travels the world in this playfully illustrated Dr. Seuss classic (first published back in 1950), collecting all sorts of beasts that you don't see every day. From the mountains of Zomba-ma-Tant to the blistering sands of the Desert of Zind, Gerald hunts down every animal imaginable (I'll catch 'em in countries no one can spell, like the country of Motta-fa-Potta-fa-Pell). Whether it's a scraggle-foot Mulligatawny or a wild-haired Iota (from the far western part of south-east North Dakota), Gerald amazes the world with his new and improved zoo: This Zoo Keeper, New Keeper's simply astounding! He travels so far that you think he would drop! When do you suppose this young fellow will stop?

But Gerald's weird and wonderful globe-trotting safari doesn't end a moment too soon: young McGrew's made his mark. He's built a zoo better than Noah's whole Ark! Some of the text and illustrations--imaginative as they are--are obviously dated, such as the following passage: I'll hunt in the mountains of Zomba-ma-Tant/ With helpers who all wear their eyes at a slant,/ And capture a fine fluffy bird called the Bustard/ Who only eats custard with sauce made of mustard. And your children may be the first to recognize that attitudes have changed since the xenophobic '50s. But that doesn't mean this tale need be discarded; instead, it should be discussed. Ironically, Seuss was trying here--in his wild, explosive, and sometimes careless manner--to celebrate the joys of unconventionality and the bliss of liberation! (Ages 4 to 8) ....read more

moreinfo Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You
When I was quite young and quite small for my size, I met an old man in the Desert of Drize. The old man looks like a cross between a cartoon granddad and a swami; he sits on top of a cactus, and tells his young listener that the best way to get over any sadness is to imagine all the ways you could be worse off. Suppose, just suppose, you were poor Herbie Hart, who has taken his Throm-dim-bu-lator apart! This has a more hurried, formulaic feel than the best Seuss, and it seems to showcase a less acute grasp of child psychology than usual. (Does it really make a child feel better to think of poor Harry Haddow, who, try as he will, can't make a shadow, or Gucky Gown, who lives by himself ninety miles out of town?) But the illustrations alone make this morality tale a minor classic. (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr ....read more

A charming gift for expectant parents, Oh Baby, the Places You'll Go is designed to be an in utero introduction to the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss. Adapted from his works, and touching on them all from Horton to Who-ville, author Tish Rabe has maintained Seuss's style perfectly. Your baby is the unnamed star of the book, and reading directly to your tummy becomes easy with lines like the words I am saying you hear in your heart, and know that I wish you the very best start. Filled with the good doctor's whimsical illustrations, you'll find all your favorite characters, with a short rhyme that mentions each one--and just enough direct quotations to get those infants stimulated when you read Seuss's whole books to them at a later date. --Jill Lightner ....read more

moreinfo Horton Hears A Who
Surely among the most lovable of all Dr. Seuss creations, Horton the Elephant represents kindness, trustworthiness, and perseverance--all wrapped up, thank goodness, in a comical and even absurd package. Horton hears a cry for help from a speck of dust, and spends much of the book trying to protect the infinitesimal creatures who live on it from the derision and trickery of other animals, who think their elephant friend has gone quite nutty. But worse is in store: an eagle carries away the clover in which Horton has placed the life-bearing speck, and let that small clover drop somewhere inside / of a great patch of clovers a hundred miles wide! Horton wins in the end, after persuading the Who's to make as much noise as possible and prove their existence. This classic is not only fun, but a great way to introduce thoughtful children to essentially philosophical questions. How, after all, are we so sure there aren't invisible civilizations floating by on every mote? (Ages 4 to 8) --Richard Farr ....read more

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. But are you rotten enough to ruin Whoville's Christmas Whobilation this year, even after Cindy Lou Who nominates you to be the Cheermeister of the event? Based on Dr. Seuss's wacky and wonderful classic picture book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas and the motion picture screenplay of the same name, this novelization elaborates on the story of a holiday gone awry. Little Cindy Lou Who, her cheerfully dopey dad, Lou Lou Who, her semi-delinquent teenage brothers Stu and Drew Lou Who, the Martha Stewartesque Martha May Whovier, and the nastiest, most cynical, evil-hearted Grinch around star in this Christmas comedy. Seventeen color photos from the film are included. (Ages 8 to 12) --Emilie Coulter ....read more

The haughty ruler of Didd, King Derwin (who would foolishly go on to summon green goo from the sky in his later years) showed the first signs of his silly self-importance back in this 1938 Seuss classic, The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins.

When Bartholomew visits town one day, selling cranberries at the market for his parents, the King's procession screeches to a halt in front of him; King Derwin then leans out of his coach, demanding to know why Bartholomew hasn't respectfully removed his hat. But, Sire, my hat is off. He shows the king the hat in his hands that he's just doffed, but sure enough, another identical one sits atop his head. He takes that hat off only to reveal another... and another, and another, and another. Poor Bartholomew goes through 45 hats, then 136, then 233, as the angry king calls in every expert in the kingdom, from Sir Snipps the haberdasher to the Father of the Father of Nadd. In the end, Bartholomew barely gets away with his head (forget about the hats!), as Seuss spins this weird and wacky tale, a strange thing that just happened to happen and was not very likely to happen again.
