Big Blue Book Of Beginner

What could make a better present than a classic Beginner Book? Six of them--for less than the price of two! Together in one sturdy hardcover collection are the complete text and art of three beloved P.D. Eastman early readers, Go, Dog. Go!, Are You My Mother?, and The Best Nest plus Robert Lopshire's Put Me In the Zoo (featuring the character Spot), Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollen's It's Not Easy Being a Bunny (featuring P.J. Funnybunny), and Mike McClintock's classic reader A Fly Went By. A perfect introduction to reading that will whet young readers appetites for additional books in the Beginner Book series.

In 1957, Theodore Geisel--known to the world as Dr.Seuss--wrote a book called The Cat in the Hat. It was fun to read aloud, easy toread alone, and impossible to put down. It was the first Beginner Book, and itchanged the way children learn how to read--turning it from a task, into a joy!

P. D. Eastman was an author-illustrator who created many children’s books, including Are You My Mother?, Go, Dog. Go!, and The BestNest. Trained at the National Academy of Design, he enlisted in the army in 1943 and was assigned to the Signal Corps Film Unit—which was headed by Theodor Geisel, who would eventually become known to the world as Dr. Seuss. After Geisel later approached him to write for his new Beginner Book series at Random House, Eastman published his first book, Sam and the Firefly. Since then, Random House has sold more than 30 million books by P. D. Eastman, and he has become one of the most beloved children’s book authors in the world
