Ten Apples Up on Top (Dr. Seuss)
Learning to count has never been more fun than in this crazy tale of a dog, a lion and a tiger all showing off how many apples they can balance on their heads as they skip, walk the tightrope and roller skate their way through the book.
With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Suess has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic Cat in the Hat, and ranked among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Dr. Seuss is a global best-seller, with over 650 million books sold worldwide.
Dr. Seuss books are divided into three reading levels:
Blue Back Books: Ideal for sharing with your child. The rhymes and repetition are with the pictures to help pre-readers recognise the words.
Green Back Books: Ideal for children just beginning to read on their own. The rhyme, rhythm and repetition make them easier to read, helping to build confidence.
Yellow Back Books: Ideal for fluent readers, and great fun for practising reading aloud. They also make wonderful bedtime stories for younger children.
'Ten Apples Up on Top' belongs to the Green Back Books range.
