Learning to count has never been more fun than in this crazy tale of a dog, a lion
and a tiger all showing off how many apples they can balance on their heads as
they skip, walk the tightrope and roller skate their way through the book.
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.
