Product Description
What could make a better present than a Beginner Book written by Dr. Seuss? Six of them—for less than the price of two! We’ve taken the complete text and art of Great Day for Up! (illustrated by Quentin Blake); I Am Not Going to Get Up Today! (illustrated by James Stevenson); I Wish That I Had Duck Feet (illustrated by T. Tobey); Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be a Vet! (illustrated by Michael Smollin); Wacky Wednesday (illustrated by George Booth); and Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog? (illustratedby Roy McKie) and bound them together in one sturdy hardcover omnibus. A perfect introduction to reading that will whet young readers appetites for additional books in the Beginner Book series.

5 out of 5 stars great story collection   April 19, 2010
sabrina west (texas)
I have two children a boy(5)and girl(2) and they both love it, we also have the Big Blue Book & it is also a big hit. Each night they get to pick out two short stories each and they will usually pick out the stories from the Big Blue or Big Green Book. We can't wait for the big red book to come out.


4 out of 5 stars Compared to the Big Blue Book   April 10, 2010

I have "The Big Green Book of Beginner Books" and The BIG Blue Book of Beginner Books. The stories in both books are easy for beginning readers; but the stories in the blue book have full plots and are more interesting. The green book stories are sillier and nonsensical. Dr. Seuss has written much better stories than these.

My daughter says she likes both books equally well. She especially enjoys searching for all the silly objects in "Wacky Wednesday." I will give her opinion more weight in the star rating. After all, it is a children's book and it does what I want, which is motivate her to read. I personally would have given it 3 stars.

If you are trying to decide between the blue book or the green book, I'd recommend the blue book.



5 out of 5 stars Love Dr. Seuss...The Big Green Book of Beginner Books...   February 6, 2010
Palonie (LARGO, FLORIDA, US)
I'm thrilled to have all these books in one book and to have all the pictures the original books had makes it not only a lot less money but more convenient to store on the book shelf - I hadn't seen the Duck Feet book since my nephew memorized it when he was small and now he is 47 years old so it was even more of a thrill to see it in this book.


3 out of 5 stars Disappointing stories by Suess   January 22, 2010

I love Dr. Suess books. In fact, my mom saved all of mine from when I was a child and I read those to my son. We love the classics: Hop on Pop, Green Eggs & Ham, The Sneetches, Yertle the Turtle, Cat in the Hat, etc.

Unfortunately, this book is not a collection of great classics. Other than I Wish That I Had Duck Feet (which I already have from when I was a child), the other stories leave something to be desired. They are cute, they are okay, but they are not the level I expect from Dr. Suess. A Great Day for Up is not bad, but I really could do without the others. My 3 year old son likes them, but they don't keep his interest like the better Suess books.



5 out of 5 stars A fabulous read for young children   December 3, 2009

I saw this book in a store and bought it with my 5 year old grandson in mind. He loves the fact that it is a thick book, just like grandma's. He even put in a bookmark like mine to hold his place after he reads the stories. It is easy to read and unlike some of the Dr. Seuss books, makes a lot of sense in the story lines. He loves this book and can't wait to come to my house and read with his grandma. I just ordered the Big Blue book for him for Christmas. I highly recommend this book.
