Amazon.co.uk Review
First published in 1963, Hop on Pop remains a perennial favourite when it
comes to teaching kids to read. Here, as in most of his extensive body of work,
Dr. Seuss creates uncomplicated, monosyllabic rhymes to foster learning and
inspire children to read. But what was radical about this little book at the
time of publication (and what makes it still compelling today) is Seusss
departure from the traditionally dull pictures and sentences used in reading
primers. In contrast, the illustrations here are wild and wonderful, and the
accompanying language, while simple, is delightfully silly. For example, the
rhyme THREE TREE / Three fish in a tree / Fish in a tree? / How can that be?
is brought to life with a trio of plump, self-satisfied fish perched atop
globular branches as two stymied hybrid dog-rabbit-humanoids look on in
consternation. Hop on Pop does much more than teach children the basics of word
construction, it also introduces them to the incomparable pleasure of reading a
book. (Under Fives) This text refers to an out of print or unavailable
