A thoroughly Seussian tweak of the alphabet-book tradition, On
Beyond Zebra is about all the letters that most people ignore--the
ones that come after Z. Our hero instantly recognizable to most
Seuss fans as the boy who captured Thing One and Thing Two in The
Cat in the Hat takes his young friend, Conrad Cornelius O''Donald
O''Dell, on a guided tour of all the weird creatures that begin with
letters such as Yuzz, Wumbus, and Glikk. "And Nuh is the letter I
use to spell Nutches, Who live in
內容簡介:
In this rip-roaring story a young boy delights in explaining
how his alphabet starts where our alphabet ends. Carrying on beyond
Z for zebra, we find letter Yuzz for Yuzz-a-ma-Tuzz, and Glikk as
in Glikker, who lives in wild weeds and spends his time juggling
with cinnamon seeds! 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.
關於作者:
Theodor Seuss Geisel -- better known to millions of his fans
as Dr. Seuss -- was born the son of a park superintendent in
Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth
College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England,
he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising
man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children''s books,
and his first book -- And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street
-- was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one
and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a
hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner
Books.
