Mouse takes Mr Bird In a People House and points out 65 common objects you
might find there. Small children will be amused by the mischief the pair get up to
while they learn to relate the words printed in red to the pictures.
Bright and Early books help even the youngest child get ready to read.
Simple stories and basic concepts are humorously presented in rhythm and
rhyme. Pictures that fully explain the text help even babies make the important
connection between word and meaning.
It's never too early to find out that 'Learning to read is fun'.
Ages 3+
Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was
born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904.
After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford
University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an
advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and
his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in
1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat,
published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books
known as Beginner Books.
Small children will delight in making the connection
between words and pictures, as a mischievous
mouse shows Mr. Bird around a “People House”,
pointing out all the everyday things to be found,
from peanuts and paper to scissors and string.
