Now
you can read this Dr. Seuss classic in Chinese or English! First
published in 1963, Hop on Pop remains a perennial favorite 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 Seuss's 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.
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.
