The Nose Book

by Al Perkins

Published 15 March 1971
'Everybody grows a nose', and every pre-school child is interested in his own. THE NOSE BOOK looks at a world of noses that are colourful, useful and very jolly. Bright and early books help even the youngest children get ready to read. Simple stories and basic concepts are humorously presented in rhythm and rhyme. Pictures that fully explain the text help even babies make the important connection between word and meaning. It's never too early to find out that 'Learning to read is fun'.

Hand, Hand, Fingers, Thumb

by Al Perkins

Published 12 September 1969
A madcap band of dancing, prancing monkeys explain hands, fingers, and thumbs to beginning readers.  

Bright and Early Books are perfect for beginning beginner readers! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1968 with The Foot Book, Bright and Early Books use fewer and easier words than Beginner Books. Readers just starting to recognize words and sound out letters will love these short books with colorful illustrations.
