Even in silhouette, the fun and fanciful art of Dr. Seuss is instantly recognizable in this Bright and Early Book classic: "a bug, a balloon, a bed, a bike. No shapes are ever quite alike." Looking at ordinary shapes is great when seen through the eyes of the remarkable Dr. Seuss, but of course it's the extraordinary shapes that really make an impression. Would you want to be shaped like a BLOGG?

Bright and Early Books are perfect for beginning beginner readers! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1968 with The Foot Book, Bright and Early Books use fewer and easier words than Beginner Books. Readers just starting to recognize words and sound out letters will love these short books with colorful illustrations.

These funny but thought-provoking picture books are ideal for independent readers or reading aloud. Dr. Seuss addresses life’s ups and downs with humorous verse and whimsical illustrations. Dr. Seuss’s beloved story teaches kids to treat the planet with kindness. Just what the doctor ordered for new retirees, old souls, and kids at heart. The perfect celebration of the person you were born to be. A tiny speck of dust contains an entire miniature world--Who-ville. Like mistletoe, candy canes, and caroling, the Grinch is a mainstay of the holidays.

My 4 year old loves this book. Being a board book it is more sturdy which is needed because he's a little rough with books still, and it wipes clean much easier from sticky fingers than your standard books with paper pages. Highly recommend for littles.

Honestly, this is one of my favorite Dr Seuss books. I love the concept of teaching children to see the world creatively and appreciate the wonderful, unique things about themselves. It's a classic, and I'll keep coming back to it again and again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tiny book fits tiny hands.
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2021

Bought this board book for a child under 2 yrs. The size, weight and strength of the boards fit him perfectly, allowing him to drag around and play with the book independently. This particular Seuss book has very few words per page, but not in the same old "A is for apple" way, so it's a quick but interesting read for him, matching up well with his current attention span.

Compré este libro pensando en mi bebé, pero mi hijo de 3 años lo está disfrutando muchísimo. Es necesario tener cierto nivel de inglés para apreciar las rimas alocadas del Dr Seuss, pero si se quiere contar en español con un poquito de inglés para entender lo que dice es suficiente y es posible inventar una historia y trabajar el vocabulario.
Es muy colorido, de páginas resistentes de cartón duro.
Estoy muy contenta con mi compra y pensando en ampliar nuestra colección.
