Synopsis

In this delightful book, Dr. Seuss introduces the youngest children to the concept of sight and seeing, looking at a range of everyday things from colours and cutlery to socks and underpants!

This title belongs to Dr. Seuss’s Bright and Early Beginner Book series, designed especially for “Beginning Beginners” – preschool children on the threshhold of learning to read. Using an exuberant combination of bright, bold pictures and rhythmic rhyme, Dr. Seuss introduces simple stories and concepts, adding a large helping of zany humour to help the youngest child make the all important connection between word and picture.

Originally published under the pseudonym of Theo. LeSieg, The Eye Book is being relaunched with a stylish new cover design which reveals, for the first time, the true identity of the author – Dr. Seuss himself!

About this title

Review:

The Eye Book is an unusual book: its fold-out pages with cut-out circles reveal plastic, moving eyes. Dr Seuss introduces children to rhyme and repetition and to the concept of sight and seeing by presenting everyday objects, from trees and clocks to dogs and underpants! First published in the UK in 1969, this is still as popular now as it was then. Not suitable for children under three years due to the small parts, children over this age will be certain to enjoy it. --Susan Naylor

About the Author:

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
