One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (Beginner Books(R)) By Dr. Seuss
Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head? Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this well-loved classic by Theodor Dr. Seuss Geisel. While many rhymes in this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seusss intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. It matters little that each wonderful vignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We move seamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.) Children today will be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes as they have been since the books original publication in 1960–so amused and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read!

Customer Reviews & Opinions
Wonderfully Funny!
This book is SO funny. I thought it was only about the fish but as I read it to my 4 month old, I found out that it is a bunch of little stories. I love this book and I hope that she will love it when she can understand better.
You’ll be rhyming in your sleep
This book, as is the case with all of Dr. Seuss’ books, is a delight. I have warm memories of these books being read to me by my parents as a child. It was wonderful to follow along by watching the inspired illustrations.This book might just turn your child into a poet. Even if it doesn’t do that, it will teach your child to rhyme. The rhymes are magically witty and whimsical. Be forewarned. Both you and your child may be reciting rhymes in your sleep.
Dr. Seuss stimulated my imagination as a child. As an author with a gift for humor, he has undoubtedly molded me as an author of humorous adult books. For that, I am grateful.

Great Book

As American as Apple Pie
Dr. Seuss published over 60 children’s books, which were often characterized by imaginative characters, rhyme, and frequent use of trisyllabic meter. His most celebrated books include the bestselling Green Eggs and Ham, The Cat in the Hat and this book are just amazing and should be read by all children.
