Dr. Seuss’s Newbie E-book Boxed Set Assortment: The Cat within the Hat; One Fish Two Fish Purple Fish Blue Fish; Inexperienced Eggs and Ham; Hop on Pop; Fox in Socks

I think you’ll find a use for Seuss. A use for Seuss….
Recently I bought this as a gift as buying five in bulk would save about 45% over buying these books individually. This is five separate books in a boxed set so you could gift each book separately if you choose.What amazes me is how great they are for a child starting to read.Happy Birthday, according to the Guinness Book of Records is the most sung song in the world. Happy Birthday contains 16 words, of which only two are not repeated many times. In fact it has only six unique words. Part of the ease of understanding comes with repetition.Green Eggs and Ham has about 60 unique words and 500 to 600 words overall, very cleverly done, and outstanding for a child learning to read, with entertaining color illustrations on each page, great rhyme, repetition and variation and parallel structure, even reversal.Here is an example with parallel structure and rhyme:So I will eat them in a boxAnd ” ” ” ” with a fox.” ” ” ” ” in a house.” ” ” ” ” with a mouse.” ” ” ” ” here and there.” ” ” ” ” anywhere.Say! I will eat them ANYWHERE.Now see if you can sing these words to the tune of Happy Birthday. I think you will find the meter is similar. It’s quite ingenious. And I think Green Eggs and Ham will encourage a child to try new things.And a reversal pattern:I am Sam. Sam I am.Hop on Pop is a great first book for a child to make rhyme associations through, very entertaining and for a beginner.Fox in Socks is full of tongue twisters.One fish two fish red fish blue fish. Notice the repetition through parallel structure.The Cat in the Hat reputedly contains 220 unique words given by an educator to Seuss to rhyme as the essential words for a child to learn, and created the memorable absurdity of two children and a prankish cat.Seuss won a Pulitzer prize in 1984 for his overall literary work, so if you want to get your child or someone else’s to read Pulitzer prize winning literature at an early age, you need look no further.If you like this consider also The Bippolo Seed and Other Lost Stories, another Seuss book, seven stories in a single book, for the price of a single story book.Recently, I had the opportunity to try out these books on my niece who is 4. She had some familiarity with Green Eggs and Ham. Even though her reading skills are not fully developed she was totally engaged with this story and able to anticipate several passages. I was quite impressed with her level of focus and engagement, and she was able to point out the different characters in the pictures and name them. I then read Cat in the Hat changing the names of the children to her and her brothers name which further increased her level of engagement.It works on adults too. My other sister had used it with her kids, and was able to recite an entire page looking at me without looking at the book, slightly crossing her eyes as she spoke.Update 12/20/2017.The children to whom I have given these books remember and their parents mention that they were a great help in getting their children interested in reading.I know you will enjoy these absurd and surreal stories, and I hope you found this helpful.

Great books and great price.
