Awakened by the Birthday Bird, you (the reader) are swept out of town on a Smorgasbords back to begin a day and night of feasting and feting in such Seussian splendor that it will take 20 days to sweep up the mess!
Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield, Massachusetts on March 2, 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University, he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons, featuring Quick, Henry, the Flit!, appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book, And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street, hit the market in 1937, and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957, Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series, Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant, playful, and always respectful of children, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped kids learn to read.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards, Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books, some of which have been made into audiocassettes, animated television specials, and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991, Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world.
I have this "Happy Birthday to You" - PARTY EDITION. The Party Edition is fabulous. But, please note that I did not receive my copy from Overstock.com. TWICE I ordered this item from O.co and received the "plain" edition -- not the advertised "Party Edition" as pictured. The warehouse is either not carrying the right version, or they are just shipping out the wrong version (but twice?!). Party Edition costs more than the "plain" version, so I expected to receive what I was paying for..... disappointing. One Star for the version being sent by O.co -- but the book itself, if you can get it, is beyond Five Stars.
This book arrived very quickly with the wrapping paper & small card. Perfect for my niece's birthday.
