Description

A condensed, board book version of the classic bestseller, best possible for babies and toddlers. Introduces the youngest readers to the wonderful world of Seussian word play.
First published in 1963, Hop on Pop remains a perennial favorite on the subject of 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 used to be radical about this little book on the time of publication (and what makes it still compelling nowadays) is Seuss’s departure from the traditionally dull pictures and sentences utilized in reading primers. In contrast, the illustrations here are wild and wonderful, and the accompanying language, whilst simple, is delightfully silly. For instance, the rhyme “THREE TREE / Three fish in a tree / Fish in a tree? / How can that be?” is delivered 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 a lot 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)
