“From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere”. Adapted from one of Dr. Seuss’s best-selling titles, this delightful board book explores some of the funny things that exist in the Seuss’s fantasy world. Along the way, young children are introduced to colours, counting, opposites and rhyme.

With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide.

As the first step in a major rebrand programme, HarperCollins is relaunching 17 of Seuss’s best-selling titles, including such perennial favourites as The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham and Fox in Socks. As well as 10 classic paperbacks, the new range also includes two rebranded board books (newly reduced to �3.99 to increase competitiveness in the market place), along with four book and audio tape sets and a paperback bind-up.

Review:

"Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?" Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this well-loved classic by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel. While many rhymes in this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss's intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. It matters little that each wonderful vignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We move seamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.) Children today will be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes as they have been since the book's original publication in 1960--so amused and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read! (Ages 4 to 8)
