Dr Seuss's ABC by Dr Seuss
The 60th Anniversary of Dr. Seuss’s ABC is an absolute delight. Many parents and grandparents will remember reading and listening to Dr. Seuss’s stories and will welcome this edition for this generation of young children to enjoy. This is not a simple alphabet book, but one that combines extraordinarily humorous pictures with memorable rhymes. Right from the first page, the reader and listener will be engaged by the question posed in different fonts and colours:
BIG A
little a
What begins with A?
Turn the page to 'Aunt Annie’s alligator ….. A..a..A' .Then follows a stunning picture of Aunt Annie sitting on a throne like chair on a long green grinning alligator.
Each of the fifty-two letters, upper and lower case, appear on a double page spread with Dr Seuss’s signature pictures coloured in bright tones. I particularly love
Big L,
little l
Little Lola Lopp.
Left leg.
Lazy lion licks a lollopop.
Not only is this a fun book to read and chuckle over, it is also an amusing way for children to learn the alphabet and could appeal to reluctant readers. It is sure to be a favourite read aloud in the homes of lucky children who own it.
Themes: Humour, Alphabet.
