About this product

Product Information

Edited by Dr. Seuss, this classic Beginner Book about finding your place in the world celebrates its 60th Anniversary! Spot longs to be in the zoo with all the other animals, but the zoo doesn't want him! In this beloved Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss, Spot shows a young boy and girl all the exciting things he can do with his spots--from changing their color and juggling them, to moving them onto different objects! Beginning readers will be delighted by Robert Lopshire's lively, rhymed story that not only teaches about colors, but proves there is a special spot for everyone, including Spot. Available for a limited time only with a peel-off 60th Anniversary sticker on the front cover, Put Me in the Zoo is a concept book with a timeless message. (Fans of Spot will also want to check out I Want to Be Somebody New!-- the sequel to Put Me in the Zoo .) Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat , this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3-7. "A hilarious story for a first-grade pupil to read. Shows that reading can be fun even if the vocabulary is very limited." --Material Analysis Publications.

Dr. Seuss Put Me in the Zoo Book
This book was purchased for use in a Dr. Seuss celebration. The children loved the book. As with all Dr. Seuss books it is fun to read. There are great follow up art, language and math activities that can be used with this book. We also purchased the stuff animal that goes with the book as a companion piece for the teachers to use while reading the book and as a toy to play with for the children. This book is definitely a favorite Dr. Seuss. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Dr. Seuss!

If only the leopards at the zoo could REALLY do this...
This book is a classic. I remember this book from when I was a kid, and now I'm reading it to my kid. My two-year-old is fascinated with the rhymes and illustrations, and I don't mind reading it two or three times in a row because of the joy it gives her. She giggles at the goofy leopard, relates with the kids and asks questions about what she sees. The way I see it, if a book can hold a toddler's attention for more than a full minute, it must be doing something right. It was entertaining for me in my day, and it's entertaining for my little girl, so its a classic by any standard. Five stars and a strong recommendation!

Fun beginning reader book
Great for beginning readers. The story and pictures are very creatively done. Makes you want to keep reading to find out what happens. Humor throughout that will make you smile.

I See Spots Before My Eyes
This is a story about a leopard who really could change his spots. He could change the color of his spots from red, to blue, to orange, to green, to violet. He could put his spots on a ball and on the wall. He could even make his friends polka- dotted! The zoo put the leopard out but with all the things he could do, the circus was the perfect home for him. This is a great read aloud for young children. Children will love the rhyming words and many opportunities to identify colors. Delightful illustrations. A+
