Description

A backlist gem unavailable for over 20 years gets a new look!   This delightful Dr. Seuss book has come back—with a brand new look! Written in 1966, this multi-cultural Beginner Book about home and friendship features the good doctor's signature rhyme and all-new, charming artwork by award-winning illustrator Katie Kath. A great choice for beginning readers as well as for read-alouds, the message of the book—that kids are the same all over the world—is as true today as it was 50 years ago. Perfect for expanding a child's worldview—and home library—it's ideal for birthdays, holidays, and happy occasions of all kinds!   Launched in 1957 with The Cat in the Hat and written specifically for emergent readers, Beginner Books combine an exacting blend of simple words and fun pictures that encourage children to read—all by themselves.

General Note
SAMPLE TEXT: Some houses are bricks and some houses are sticks. Some houses are square and some houses are round. There are all kinds of houses around to be found. Some are on stilts high up off the ground. Some houses are wide. Some houses are thin. Some are so thin you can hardly get in. But wherever you go, you will hear someone say, Come over to my house. Come over and play! In a faraway place, in a wide empty land my house is a tent in the wind and the sand. My house has an ostrich. Hop on! Take a ride. But watch where you're riding! Don't ride him inside! In back of my house lives a red kangaroo, two koala bears, and an emu or two. Come over and play. We're all waiting for you! My house is quite cold. I need fur to sleep in. My house is quite hot. I just sleep in my skin.
