Thidwick the big-hearted moose is happy his antlers “can be of
some use” to a menagerie of animals who move in and make themselves
at home. “A host has to put up with all kinds of pests. For a host,
above all, must be kind to his guests.”With his unique combination
of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Suess
has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read
for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in
the Hat, and ranked among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s
authors, Dr. Seuss is a global best-seller, with nearly half a
billion books sold worldwide.As part of a major rebrand programme,
HarperCollins is relaunching Dr. Seuss’s best-selling books. In
response to consumer demand, bright new cover designs incorporate
much-needed guidance on reading levels. The standard paperbacks
divide into three reading strands – Blue Back Books for parents to
share with young children, Green Back Books for budding readers to
tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books for older, more fluent
readers to enjoy. This is a Yellow Back book.
