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.
In this delightful book, Dr. Seuss introduces young children to the concept of sight and seeing, looking at a range of everyday things from colours and cutlery to socks and underpants!
Adapted from one of Dr. Seuss’s Bright and Early Beginner Books, this delightful novelty book is ideal for pre-school children on the threshold of learning to read. With 6 gatefolds and a pair of joggle eyes revealed throughout by die-cut holes, it combines newly commissioned artwork with classic Seussian rhyme and humour, helping the youngest child to make that all important connection between word and picture.
The only thing better than a Dr. Seuss book is six of them in one! The easy words, engaging rhymes and bright art can turn any kid into a reader. Enjoy six stories, including I Am Not Going to Get Up Today, Wacky Wednesday, Maybe You should Fly a Jet! Maybe You should be a Vet!, Would You Rather Be a Bullfrog, I Wish That I Had Duck Feet, and Great Day for Up –all on one colorful, sturdy hardcover package.
