Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning."Sick of being a bunny, P. J.

The short, repeating text is ideal for beginners and the bright, humorous cartoons will get immediate attention."-- School Library Journal.
