Hop on Pop (Bright & Early Board Books(TM)) description
First published in 1963, Hop on Pop remains a perennial favorite when it comes to teaching kids to read. Here, as in most of his extensive body of work, Dr. Seuss creates uncomplicated, monosyllabic rhymes to foster learning and inspire children to read. But what was radical about this little book at the time of publication (and what makes it still compelling today) is Seuss's departure from the traditionally dull pictures and sentences used in reading primers. In contrast, the illustrations here are wild and wonderful, and the accompanying language, while simple, is delightfully silly. For example, the rhyme "THREE TREE / Three fish in a tree / Fish in a tree? / How can that be?" is brought to life with a trio of plump, self-satisfied fish perched atop globular branches as two stymied hybrid dog-rabbit-humanoids look on in consternation. Hop on Pop does much more than teach children the basics of word construction, it also introduces them to the incomparable pleasure of reading a book. (Ages Baby to Preschooler) |

Gabi's favorite bedtime book
|
| My son just turned one and this is the first book that he really listens to when I read. Before this, the only books I could get him to pay attention to were books with photos of faces, food, animals, etc. I would look through one of these types of books before nap and bed to get him to sit with me and share focus. A few weeks ago I decided to bring in some Seuss and he loves it. He starts laughing as soon as he sees the cover and jabbers with me when I start reading. It has him talking a lot more and trying to imitate the rhythm and rhyme. The first few times I read it to him I was laughing out loud as well because the little pictures and storiettes are so silly. It's great because I used to try to read him an actual story and he would get impatient. This is just the right length for a busy one-year-old. |
