New Releases by Theodor Seuss Geisel

Dr. Seuss tells three rhyming tales featuring the extended family of the Cat in the Hat in I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! And Other Stories. The Cat''s son shows bravado in "I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today!" while his daughter gets a bit carried away imagining "The Glunk That Got Thunk." And we look back at one of the Cat''s ancestors for a tale about tails in "King Looie Katz." This lesser-known collection of classic Seussian silliness will be a welcome addition to the libraries of fans of all ages! From the Hardcover edition.

Even in silhouette, the fun and fanciful art of Dr. Seuss is instantly recognizable in this Bright and Early Book classic: "a bug, a balloon, a bed, a bike. No shapes are ever quite alike." Looking at ordinary shapes is great when seen through the eyes of the remarkable Dr. Seuss, but of course it''s the extraordinary shapes that really make an impression. Would you want to be shaped like a BLOGG? Combining brief and funny stories, easy words, catchy rhythm, and lively illustrations, Bright and Early Books are an ideal way to introduce the joys of reading to children.

When the King''s stilts are stolen and hidden, and he can no longer enjoy his play hour, the whole kingdom is threatened with destruction until a page boy bravely saves the day.

Written using 236 different words that any first or second grader can read, it''s a fixture in home and school libraries and a favorite among parents, beginning readers, teachers, and librarians. 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. From the Hardcover edition.

Long before "going green" was mainstream, Dr. Seuss''s Lorax spoke for the trees and warned of the dangers of disrespecting the environment. In this cautionary rhyming tale we learn of the Once-ler, who came across a valley of Truffula Trees and Brown Bar-ba-loots, and how his harvesting of the tufted trees changed the landscape forever. With the release of the blockbuster film version, the Lorax and his classic tale have educated a new generation of young readers not only about the importance of seeing the beauty in the world around us, but also about our responsibility to protect it.

Celebrate sleep with Dr. Seuss''s classic rhyming good-night picture book. Van Vleck, a very small bug, is getting sleepy, and his yawn-contagious as yawns are-sets off a chain reaction, making all those around him feel sleepy, too! With typically Seussian nods to alarm clocks, sleepwalking, and snoring, this charming ode to bedtime will lull listeners (and readers) toward dreamland. Zzzzzzzzzz. From the Hardcover edition.

A boy has a difficult time making decisions even though there is a vocal bunch of Hunches to help him.

Dr. Seuss and the Cat show that reading is fun-even when you don''t look at the words!-in this classic Beginner Book. "The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you''ll go." Whether reading in bed or in purple or brown, reading is fun-even upside down. And whether reading about hoses or roses or owls on noses, I Can Read with My Eyes Shut is a hysterical way to discover the joy of books. 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. From the Hardcover edition.

Two children sitting at home on a rainy day are visited by a cat who shows them tricks and games.

"Illustrator by day, surrealist by night, Ted Geisel created a body of previously little-known work during his leisure hours that he called his ''Midnight Paintings,'' and which is now known as ''The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss.'' This irrepressible and soulful collection redefines Ted Geisel as an iconic American artist. For sixty years, his ''Secret Art'' allowed Geisel to expand his artistic boundaries without the confines and pressures of commercial deadlines and influences. These paintings afforded the peaceful distraction that he craved, and through this work, the tenets of surrealism--surprise and juxtaposition--energized his sensibilities. This volume exuberantly juxtaposes Geisel''s ''Midnight Paintings'' with his best-loved children''s books because this was how Dr. Seuss constructed his creative life--his days devoted to literature for children, his nights to letting his mind and palette wander to even stranger shores. Inevitably, Geisel created images in his private artworks that would find their way into his literary projects. Though he fiercely protected his ''Secret Art'' from criticism during his lifetime, his intention all along was for these works to be seen when he was gone."--From publisher''s description.
