The Big Red Book of Beginner Books is a fabulous value--and the perfect holiday gift!

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. Andthat's exactly what it did. It began to change the way children learn how toread. To make learning to read a joy, not a task. To make reading for pleasure,the best way to learn.

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

Beginner Books are great for the whole family and perfect for children ages 3 to 7.
