Dr. Seuss"s Beginner Book Collection,
By Bookworm (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Collection (Hardcover)
I bought this collection on the hunch that Dr. Seuss's books collection would be at the very least of passing interest. Finding good kids books these days is quite challenging especially when the marketing machine hammers at you incessantly as if coaxing you to make a specific choice.Hence, it was a pleasant surprise to see my 5 yr old get enamoured by the packaging and then by the book collection itself. Based on my wife's feedback, she has kept up her readings and in the process, picked up new words, pronunciations as well as enjoyed the story lines. I would highly recommend this product.

I think you'll find a use for Seuss. A use for Seuss...,

This review is from: Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Collection (Hardcover)
Recently I bought this as a gift realising that if I bought these five in bulk it would save about 45% over buying all these books individually. I was going to give two books to one person, and three to another, but I may well end up buying another set so both can have a complete set.Before I parted with them I decided to take themn out and read them. What amazes me is how great they are for a child starting to read. You may not know that 'Happy Birthday' according to the Guinness Book of Records is the most sung song in the world. You may wonder why. Well, for one thing Happy Birthday contains 16 words, of which only two are not repeated many times. In fact there are only six unique words. Part of the ease of understanding comes with repetition. Green Eggs and Ham has about 60 unique words and 500 to 600 words overall, very cleverly done, and outstanding for a child learning to read, with entertaining color illustrations on each page, great rhyme, repetition and variation and parallel structure, even reversal. Here is an example with parallel structure and rhyme: So I will eat them in a box And " " " " with a fox. " " " " " in a house. " " " " " with a mouse. " " " " " here and there. " " " " " anywhere. Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE. Now see if you can sing these words to the tune of Happy Birthday. I think you will find the meter is similar. I think it's quite ingenious. And I think Green Eggs and Ham will encourage a child to try new things. And a reversal pattern: I am Sam. Sam I am. Hop on Pop is a great first book for a child to make rhyme associations through, very entertaining and for a beginner. Fox in Socks is full of tongue twisters. One fish two fish red fish blue fish. Notice the repetition through parallel structure. The Cat in the Hat reputedly contains 220 unique words given by an educator to Seuss to rhyme as the essential words for a child to learn, and created the memorable absurdity of two children and a prankish cat. Seuss won a Pulitzer prize in 1984 for his overall literary work, so if you want to get your child or someone else's to read Pulitzer prize winning literature at an early age, you need look no further. I know you will enjoy these absurd and surreal stories, and I hope you found this helpful.

Amazing teaching tool,

This review is from: Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Collection (Hardcover)
I love Dr. Seuss and this set of books is an amazing teaching tool. The five books are all at slightly different levels of reading and aim at practicing different reading skills; they go from basic phoneme pronunciation (Hop on Pop) to real tongue twisters (Fox in socks). The humor is wonderful (and can be understood by both adults and children) and the illustrations are equally great! A must have for anyone teaching English at an elementary level, and a great addition to any child's personal library. You won't regret it!
