More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
In this hilarious tale of mishap and misadventure, Dr. Seuss reminds us that there is always someone, somewhere, worse off than ourselves.
With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss 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 ranking among the UK’s top ten favourite children’s authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a million books sold worldwide.
This delightful book forms part of the third stage in HarperCollins’ major Dr. Seuss rebrand programme. With the relaunch of six more titles in January 2004, such all-time favourites as The Lorax, The Foot Book and Yertle the Turtle boast bright new covers that incorporate much needed guidance on reading levels: Blue Back Books are for parents to share with young children, Green Back Books are for budding readers to tackle on their own, and Yellow Back Books are for older, more fluent readers to enjoy. Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? belongs to the Yellow Back Book range.
About the Author
Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.

We've had quite a few Dr Seuss books, like them all, love more than a few, but this one is our all time favorite. I was therefore surprised to see that the average Amazon score for this fine book was anything less than the full five stars it no doubt deserves. So why was that? It turned out that one lengthy, fairly accurate and overall positive but at four stars numerically stingy review had been posted 5 times! The only criticism "the kids will enjoy it, but might not get it". Well, that is not my experience. My kids certainly found this little story as instructive as it is amusing and uplifting. It is a five star plus book that really should be part of everyone's library.

This wonderful book contains everything that a classic Dr. Seuss book should have- impossible rhymes that leave parents breathless and a wonderful moral undertone. My 5 year old daughter thinks that this book is excellent, and has made me read it almost every day since we bought it! The abstract worlds that Dr. Seuss has created in this relatively short book are absorbing and wonderfully illustrated, and tiny details are illustrated as noted in the story. This book may not make your children realise how lucky they are but it might just make them think about it for a second after hearing or reading this book, but it won't be long before they are pestering you to read it again.

Very prompt delivery, especially the snowy conditions. I bought the book for my 6 yr old grandaughter for Christmas and she absolutely loved it. She laughs every time we read it together.

A cute little read that suggests to children (or adults) that they should be happy with what they have and not unhappy 'cos they haven't.
