Additional Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories: Yellow Back Book (Dr Seuss Yellow Back Book) Information
|
In this hilarious book, featuring three timeless fables, Dr. Seuss explores the pitfalls of growing too big for your boots! With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranking among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a million books sold worldwide. This delightful book forms part of the third stage in HarperCollins' major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of six more titles in January 2004, such all-time favourites as The Lorax, The Foot Book and Yertle the Turtle boast bright new covers that incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Yertle the Turtle and other stories belongs to the Yellow Back Book range.

What Customers Say About Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories: Yellow Back Book (Dr Seuss Yellow Back Book):
|

The copy of Yertle we received is the party edition, with a metallic green hardcover; I wanted the old style cover. Still, a party cover is appropriate for a birthday gift, binding seems solid, and it is the original everything else we love. Great lesson in the Yertle story, where the turtle king learns a lesson about wanting too much when he should be content with his comfortable, happy existence. Another story is a lesson about the perils of bragging too much.Fun book that teaches good values.
We read this book over and over when the boys were little. Now I am buying it for my first grandchild. I am looking forward to introducing him to this wonderful book.
I recommend this book for anyone who reads to their children, it is fun and keeps their and your attention.
The book arrived in good shape (with the "shelf wear" that was described in the initial blurb) but the inside was pristine. Came in a few days. Happy with the transaction.
Dr. "Yertle" shows us how bullying hurts the victims, but it also hurts the bully. Seuss may appear to have written his books for young children--but readers of all ages enjoy his gift for the rhythm of language and the whimsical illustrations. Each of the stories in this book has an important lesson presented for children by an author who can think and speak like a child; it's not hard to get the points. "Gertrude McFuzz" experiences the folly of wanting more than what is good for her, and learns the value of contentment. "The Big Brag" is a "got ya." story, and will enable children to recognize the situation when it happpens in real life.
