This is an omnibus volume of some of the lesser-seen, yet beloved, books written especially for beginning readers. Contained in this Orange volume are “Marvin K. Money Will You Please Go Now!”, “The Shape of Me and Other Stuff”, “In a People House”, “Hooper Humperdink . . . ? NOT

HIM!”, “Ten Apples Up On Top!”, and “Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo!”

Colorful illustrations, nonsensical happenings, and simple words help beginning-to-learn readers experience reading success as they share in adventures with Marvin, explore shadows and shapes, vist with Mr. Bird and the mouse, and meet Hooper Humperdink. Then there’s some silly counting and a clever tale that begins with a sneezing bug.

For fans of the series, there are also omnibus editions of The Big Red Book, The Big Purple Book, The Big Blue Book, and The Big Aqua Book to accompany this Orange edition.

Highly recommended for all Dr. Seuss fans.
