Happy Birthday Dr Seuss
Okay, so I am once again late to the party. You know I confessed in an earlier post, I never read Dr Seuss until a few months ago.
Well, we are mad for him now and it happens to have been his birthday this week.
So, I thought myself so clever when I went to our local Aldi, because they advertised they had Dr Seuss on sale.
I rock up, grab as many as affordable and get home.....
I start reading them to Gigi....
Hmm ... The Rhyme is not always great...
Hang on!!!!
Okay, so I don't know every Dr Seuss title, but I realised, actually these are not actually his work at all.
They are books based on the Cat In A Hat cartoon, that Gigi actually loves and yes they are a different author and illustrator as we know Dr Seuss passed many years ago.
I was skeptical and a little put out that I had not done my research. I just figured they didn't have all his well known titles on sale but his lesser known instead.
Anyway, the good news is, Gigi still loves the books and they are actually very educational.
They are lengthy, but that is okay as she is now right into chapter books at 3.5. I didn't realise how much she would actually learn from them.
I haven't given up on my search for his old favourites and our re-use it baby market is coming up soon. I will be taking a trip to visit my favourite second hand book seller, to find some more Dr Seuss classics.
Until then, I do recommend the new books and I heard on the grape vine that a new Dr Seuss will be released posthumously.
We can't wait.
Until then folks, happy hopping.....
