- Mary Hynes-Berry (Children's Literature)
Grandparents may get a real kick out of gifting their little ones with this Dr. Seuss, which dates back to the 1950s. It is likely to remind them that there is hardly a five-year-old alive who does not believe that their birthday is one of the grand events of a lifetime. The idea of Birthday Bird like the one in Katroo, who arranges an increasingly elaborate celebration, seems quite appropriate, and who could resist dreaming about a boat sized cake, cooked by “Snookers and Snookers, the official Katroo Happy Birthday cookers.” As just this line shows, from the beginning, Seuss was a master of the kind of language play that develops phonemic awareness, an important pre-literacy skill. Separating out the similar but distinct sounds of “Snookers, cookers, Dutter and Butter” is vastly more engaging than the inappropriate and mind-numbing workbook pages being pushed at preschoolers. Thank goodness Random House reissues the various Dr. Seuss tales every few years, limiting their changes to a glitzier cover. 2009 (orig. 1976), Random House, $14.95. Ages 3 up. Subjects:
- Antiquities--Collection and preservation--fiction.
China--Antiquities--fiction.
