  • A Fish Out of Water

    Helen Palmer, Philip Dey Eastman

    Paperback (Harpercollins Pub Ltd, July 31, 1984)
    A little boy who overfeeds his goldfish begins an adventure that brings even the police and a fire engine to cope with A FISH OUT OF WATER. Beginning readers will delight in this fast moving story. 'I can read it all by myself' is the Beginner Books motto, and behind it is an understanding of how important it is for children to take pride and pleasure in their early reading. Beginner Books have been designed to appeal directly to children through the use of humour, rhyme and bright pictures that can be 'read' even by the non-reading child. Some Beginner Books are simple stories, others are hilarious nonsense: both types have been designed to give children confidence and make them want to go on reading.

  • Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be a Vet!

    Theo Le Sieg

    Paperback (Harpercollins Pub Ltd, Feb. 28, 1986)
    What do you want to do when you grow up? A ticket taker! a pizza maker!? A wrestler, a writer or maybe a waiter? A whole host of silly and sensible options dances before your eyes in this rhythmic, rhyming cavalcade of jobs. This title belongs to the highly acclaimed Beginner Book series developed by Dr. Seuss, in which the essential ingredients of rhyme, rhythm and repetition are combined with zany artwork and off-the-wall humour to create a range of books that will encourage even the most reluctant child to read. Originally published under the pseudonym of Theo LeSieg, Maybe You Should Fly a Jet! Maybe You Should Be a Vet! is being relaunched with a stylish new cover design which reveals, for the first time, the true identity of the author -- Dr. Seuss himself!
