Back in 1957, Theodor Geisel responded to an article in Life magazine that lamented the use of boring reading primers in schools. Using the pseudonym of "Dr. Seuss" (Seuss was Geisel's middle name) and only two hundred twenty-three words, Geisel created a replacement for those dull primers: "The Cat in the Hat." The instant success of the book prompted Geisel and his wife to found Beginner Books, and Geisel wrote many popular books in this series, including "Hop on Pop, " "Fox in Socks, " and "Green Eggs and Ham." Other favorite titles in this series are "Go, Dog, Go!" and "Are You My Mother?" by P. D. Eastman, "A Fly Went By, " by Mike McClintock, and "Put Me in the Zoo, " by Robert Lopshire. These affordable hardcover books combine large print, easy vocabulary, and large, bright illustrations in stories kids will want to read again and again. Grades 1 - Grades 2.

Hi Paula! ❤️ Thanks for tagging me. Been a bit late in sharing this, but still wanted to squeeze it in before the year ends. Here's my #20best2020 (the year when reading kept me the most sane). There are some in here which I will be re-reading for sure.

#ANewChapter Day 18: #OhMother reminds me of Mrs Bird who doesn‘t feel the way Mr Bird did about their nest being the best. In fact she wants to move out immediately to find a new home. As they flit and fly from one possible home to the next: from a tree, shoe, to a mailbox, it does not seem as if Mr. and Mrs. Bird would be unable to find a suitable place to live in. My review of this classic tale: https://wp.me/pDlzr-98U

Soubhiville One of my childhood favorites! 5y

1. Grilled cheese and soup! 🥪🍲
2. The Best Nest
3. Both as a kid and now, I like to be in bed, watching terrible tv! (although as a kid I gather it was mostly cartoons and the Price is Right)

For #FunFridayPhoto, this was my absolute favorite book when I was little. Hoping my son enjoys it as much as I did. My mom even found it in Spanish so we can read both versions!

MrBook 😱😱😱 I completely forgot about these books!!!! Thank you for sharing! 8y
