Seuss, Dr. The Big
Orange Book of Beginner Books, 240 pgs.
Random House, 2015. $15.99 EARLY
READER Content: G.
This collection of six early readers includes
the following books: The Shape of Me and Other Stuff, Ten Apples
Up On Top!, Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!, Because a Little Bug Went
Ka-Choo!, Hooper Humperdink…? Not Him!, and In a People House. Unlike the Big Blue Book or the Big Red Book,
this collections doesn’t seem to have a familiar book in the bunch. The most enjoyable books are Because a Little Bug went Ka-Choo! And Ten Apples Up on Top! But the other
books are hard to recommend and read like a list instead of a story. The Hooper Humperdink story is about not
including a boy at a party and although at the very end they finally invite
him, it still feels very mean. The
illustrations are bright and fun to look at and it is Dr. Seuss so how bad can
in be, but the other two collections have better compilations.
