"We offer you no rules on how to use this book with your children."
"What a happy way to learn elementary words and their meanings!" proclaims Josette Frank, a Director of the Child Study Association of America, on the rear flap of THE CAT IN THE HAT BEGINNER BOOK DICTIONARY. With recurring characters like Aaron the inventive alligator and the adventurous Aunt Ada, this colorful picture dictionary weaves little narratives through its numerous illustrations. Of course, Dr. Seuss couldn't resist adding in some of his characteristic creations, such as the zyxuzpf birds and a pair of strange fellows called only This and That. P. D. Eastman's lively art compliments Seuss's delightful silliness. A notably bright copy, coming directly from the stock of Aleph-Bet Books, the firm of Seuss bibliographers Helen Younger and Marc Younger.
