false 206962 18 First published in 1963, <I>Hop on Pop</I> 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. 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. <I>Hop on Pop</I> does much more than teach children the basics of word construction, it also introduces them to the incomparable pleasure of reading a book. <I>(Ages Baby to Preschooler)</I> 894153 1963 Hop on Pop total:6223|5:2171|4:1664|3:1843|2:475|1:70| 6223 24060 6945 201 2 6 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Wed Jul 25 13:45:04 -0700 2007 Wed Jul 25 13:46:19 -0700 2007 5 3 false false Tue Oct 02 08:49:49 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 14:54:34 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 2 false false Fri Jun 22 11:25:07 -0700 2007 Sun Jun 24 17:03:10 -0700 2007

by Gerard C. Smith

Come "Hop on Pop," my Lisa said
And hop of course is what she did

On Poppa’s tum he went crash-bump
