Synopsis

Dr. Seuss muses on a variety of wild and wacky options for young children to consider – Would they rather be a bullfrog or a butterfly? A minnow or a whale? A hammer or a nail? In making their choice, children will enjoy matching the words to the pictures.

This title belongs to the Bright and Early Beginner Book series, developed by Dr. Seuss 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!

Dr. Seuss's book 'How the Grinch Stole Christmas!' was a Sunday Times bestseller w/c 2025-12-29.

About this title

About the Author

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to his millions of 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, which included the creation of the one and only ‘The Cat in the Hat’, published in 1957.
