Perfect starter set!!!

Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Cute starter set in the book size I was looking for 6.75”x 9.25”. The books are high quality and arrived in pristine condition. However, the books are presented in a sleeve - but it arrived pretty banged up. The sleeve is made of a light cardstock, it’s really too delicate to be holding so much weight. Minus one star for the sleeve, but I bought it for the books and the sleeve is going into the recycle bin!!!

A MUST-HAVE collection of classics for any appreciator of literary art! (Or anyone who has a sense of humor.) (Or kids.)

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

WHO could not love Dr. Seuss books?! I enjoy them as much in my adulthood as I did as a child. I have purchased a large set for my grandbaby a few years ago. I have replaced my own sets when lost in moving, and then again when my replacement set was confiscated in my divorce. ;) They are a classic, a necessary staple for any book collector's personal library.
To get his books I'd crawl through bogs; I would read them to my dogs. Of Dr. Seuss, I'm such a fan; I would read them on the can. I would read them on my bike, or read them as I take a hike. I'd read them if it rains or snows, I'd read them while I blow my nose. I'd sneak to read them while at work; I'd even share them with a jerk. I would read them in a tree - no better books will ever be. I loved these books as child or Gram; I love these books, big fan I am.

Cover on upside-down on the book.

Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

These books would be a great buy, but one came with the cover upside-down on the book. I don't want to send them all back and I can't see how to contact the seller or company. If I could just get this one book delivered (with the cover on properly) I'd give this 5 stars. The books are good quality and nicely sized for kids. I can't help but wonder if Amazon delivery is an easy way to get rid of some of these books that were put together improperly (but still get money for them). I hope the seller proves me wrong and I can come back with a 5 star review!

Legitimate Dr. Seuss books. Good deal!

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I can't return them now because they were a gift for out of state relatives. I was really displeased with how these books arrived. The shipping box was fine but the books' box and spines of the books were pretty damaged. Luckily these were for younger kids who will probably end up damaging them some anyways, just wish they could have arrived nicer.

A Universal Gift for All Children and Always an Entertaining Read for Both Adults and Children

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I believe that there are things that we receive that are priceless, both in terms for value and sentimentality. The Dr. Seuss’s hardcover books are entertaining for a child, fun to read as an adult, and the clever concepts, tongue twister rhymes and verses, never gets old or stale, even when read 30 years later.

There are five separate hardcovers books in this collection, and they come protected in a fitted cardboard sleeve. Each book is one complete story, with funny characters, unusual adventuresome plots, and all have happy endings. The stories are all illustrated and the font is large and easy to read, the tongue twisters are catchy and fun and the plot of the stories move at a smooth and easy pace.

These stories and pictures capture a toddler’s attention, and they listen without any restless squirming. When my son was at that very young age he always requested that I read the same story ‘again’.

He kept his full collection and now that he has two young children of his own, both he and my daughter-in-law read them to their children as part of their bedtime ritual. Since all these stories are fun and amusing, and without any scary portions, they make the perfect transition from sleepy wakefulness to a peaceful sleep.

However, I bought this starter set for my niece who has one-year old twins. My niece and her husband live in a small apartment with very limited space and with all the toys received from both families, and all the relatives and friends they have run out of room. Therefore if everyone would just send the children a birthday card and come for a visit that would suffice for their birthday. Unfortunately, I live over 3,000 miles away and therefore a ‘drop-over’ for a visit is not possible for me. Therefore, I felt compelled to send something more than just birthday cards, and sent this set of books as well.

Both her and her husband loved this gift. Books take up a minimum of space, and since she is an avid reader she has ‘story-time’ with her children twice a day, afternoons and at bedtime, and furthermore she enjoyed the Dr. Seuss books from when she was toddler and never grew tired of his stories, even as she grew older.

This is an ideal and universal gift for all children. No matter our age, these books are entertaining, and interesting for adults to read out loud with humorous tongue twisters, and sure to delight all girls and boys. This is a sensational start to introduce the joy of reading, and a perfect start for any child’s book collection.

Perfect Baby Shower Gift Set

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is my go-to gift for baby showers. Always appreciated by the to-be parents, even though I realize that when you are ordering and wrapping it, the books don't have the "aww!" look about them. At the last baby shower, I didn't know either parent very well but still gave these books - both of their faces immediately lighted up and they said, "We were just talking about how we didn't know what to read to a baby! Of course Dr. Seuss!" And the to-be daddy actually opened the package of books then and there. (Yay! My gift didn't bomb! Or they were just being nice, but at least it'll be used). :-)

A MUST!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

A woman I work for had their first baby and he will turn one very soon. During his visits to our office, I noticed how visually attuned he is -- he studies everything and everybody with acute attention. I bought this Dr. Seuss's Beginner Book Collection for his first birthday and showed it to his mom to ask if he already had a Dr. Seuss's book or books, and if so I could return it (or keep it for myself, I thought!) and get something different for him. She teared up and said, "No, he doesn't! How wonderful!!" I'm not sure who will love it more, the little one for the awsome illustrations to ponder (until he can read them by himself, that is!), or the parent who gets to revisit their childhood while reading to him. It's a total win-win for their family! (And I think I'll order a set for myself anyway, mine are pretty beat up after all these years! LOL)

Great books. Love the rhythm of the words to hold babies interest when read to. Used with my daughter 38 yrs ago and gave them away. Bought these for my new grandbaby 3 months old and she is mesmerized. Price was great so I order these and also ordered the ABC book and the Foot Book from another seller as I had to have those in addition to this boxed set. They are the full sized books.

Let's have a little talk about tweetle beetles....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this collection for my niece's 2nd birthday because I absolutely loved reading Dr Seuss books with my 13 year old son when he was younger. I wanted a starter set for her and as this contains 4 absolute classics - The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs & Ham, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish and Fox in Socks - it seemed ideal.

My niece loved them all, especially the wonderful Fox in Socks. As soon as she opened the present she had to be read each book and she wanted Fox in Socks read to her 3 times in a row she loved it so much!

I just know that these books will give her (and her parents) many hours of fun. And because the books range from simple words (Hop on Pop) through to quit complex sentences (Fox in Socks), they will help her when she starts to read too.

Highly recommended!

Not your average Janet and John books. Brilliant.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 9, 2014

Bought for my 5 year old nephew who is autistic. It has taken some struggles for him to learn to read but now he has grasped the rules of the alphabet and sentence structure there is no stopping him. Dr Seuss has taught him about rhythm and rhyme and about silly stories with unexpected words instead of the predictable structure of school books. He loves them.

Nonsense but funny!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 10, 2013

My almost 8yrs old thinks the stories are funny. She said Fox in Socks made her tongue "tired".

Hop on Pop is a great alternative to BOB books for reluctant readers. My almost 5yrs old does not like to read other books aside from her school text books but, she likes Hop on Pop as compared to the BOB books I previously bought for her.

My 2yrs old finds the pictures funny!

Wonderful Dr Seuss Collection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 4, 2010

We ordered this for the little one as a Christmas present, she is three and very much enjoys Dr Seuss but only has one book. We ordered this box set and it arrived within 3 days of order. All the books are in great condition, bright and colourful, making it an excellent Christmas gift for a little girl who loves her bed time stories. (And for parents who can read them when she has gone to sleep#:D )

A fun way of learning children to recognise words and teaches rhymes with an educational theme. Very very well laid out print and leaves children wanting more and more allowing their imagination to grow as words and stories unfold. Absolutely terrific books which are an asset to any child's bookcase.
