 | Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? (Classic Seuss)
|
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

 | Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can You? (Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners)
|
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. --Paul Hughes ....read more

 | The Foot Book: Dr. Seuss's Wacky Book of Opposites
|
The Foot Book is a delightful tribute to the diverse and multifaceted world of feet. Not merely a realm of ankles, arches, and toes--as this self-proclaimed Wacky Book of Opposites attests--the podiatry province welcomes all kinds: Slow feet/Quick feet/Well feet/Sick feet. Dr. Seuss has put his best foot forward here, in a whimsical approach to showcasing opposites. Wet feet contrast dry feet, and low feet contrast high feet. Though hot feet and cold feet aren't specifically referenced, we get the sense that those are okay too. As usual, the rhymes are quick and quirky, and Seuss's illustrations will knock kids' socks off. (Baby to preschool) ....read more
