  • The Bear Scouts

    Stan Berenstain, Jan Berenstain

    Paperback (Harpercollins Pub Ltd, July 31, 1986)
    A camping trip for the Berenstain Bears means that Dad attempts to show his scouting skills while the little bears wisely follow the guidebook instead. As always the children know best, which is the basis of the Berenstain's appeal to beginning readers. '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.

  • In a People House

    Theo Le Sieg, Dr. Seuss, Roy McKie

    Paperback (Harpercollins Pub Ltd, March 31, 1982)
    Small children will delight in making the connection between words and pictures, as a mischievous mouse shows Mr. Bird around a "People House", pointing out all the everyday things to be found, from peanuts and paper to scissors and string. This title belongs to the Bright and Early Beginner Book series, developed by Dr. Seuss especially for "Beginning Beginners" -- preschool children on the threshhold of learning to read. Using an exuberant combination of bright, bold pictures and rhythmic rhyme, Dr. Seuss introduces simple stories and concepts, adding a large helping of zany humour to help the youngest child make the all important connection between word and picture. Originally published under the pseudonym of Theo. LeSieg, The Eye Book is being relaunched with a stylish new cover design which reveals, for the first time, the true identity of the author -- Dr. Seuss himself!

  • Gerald McBoing Boing. Based on the Academy Award-Winning Motion Picture by Dr. Seuss

    Melanie Crawford

    Paperback (HarperCollins Children's Books, April 1, 2008)
    This is the amazing tale of Gerald McCloy, who "didn't talk words -- he went Boing Boing instead!" Only capable from the earliest age of making strange noises, young Gerald is the bane of his parents' lives. Finally, he runs away, little realising his "Boing Boings" will make his fortune! Nearly fifity years ago, Dr. Seuss was asked by a friend at United Productions of America to come up with an idea for an animated cartoon that was new and different -- more than just the usual cats chasing mice. And that's how Gerald McBoing Boing came into being. The cartoon attracted legions of fans in America, and went on to win an Academy Award in 1951. Available only briefly in book form in the USA at the time of the movie's release, it has finally re-emerged with all its zest and zany humour in tact, ready to delight a new generation of Dr. Seuss fans.
