Horton and the Kwuggerbug and more Lost Stories | |
THEODOR SEUSS GEISEL--aka Dr. Seuss--is one of the most beloved children's book authors of all time. From The Cat in the Hat to Oh, the Places You'll Go!, his iconic characters, stories, and art style have been a lasting influence on generations of children and adults. The books he wrote and illustrated under the name Dr. Seuss (and others that he wrote but did not illustrate, including some under the pseudonyms Theo. LeSieg and Rosetta Stone) have been translated into thirty languages. Hundreds of millions of copies have found their way into homes and hearts around the world. Dr. Seuss's long list of awards includes Caldecott Honors for McElligot's Pool, If I Ran the Zoo, and Bartholomew and the Oobleck, the Pulitzer Prize, and eight honorary doctorates. Works based on his original stories have won three Oscars, three Emmys, three Grammys, and a Peabody.
Contributor CHARLES D. COHEN is a graduate of Haverford College and the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine and has been a practicing dentist for over twenty-five years. Dr. Cohen first became enchanted with the works of Dr. Seuss as a child and he began purchasing early edition of Seuss books in college. Today, Dr. Cohen's trove of Seussiana is likely the most comprehensive private collection in the world. It is his hope to create a museum to preserve the full Seuss legacy by protecting the pieces for posterity. He is the author of the The Seuss, the Whole Seuss, and Nothing But the Seuss.

内容很简单，价格却很贵
"Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories" gives a new generation of readers some fresh, but classic, Dr. Seuss stories. Charles D. Cohen is to be congratulated for having the tenacity to find these "lost" four Seuss works. He should be lauded for his generosity in sharing the stories with Dr. Seuss fans - old and young.
This volume contains four stories; each one features a familiar character that appeared in other Seuss classics. Once again, the 100% faithful Horton the Elephant meets a less ethical critter - the Kwuggerbug - who imposes on Horton's good nature. Once again, Horton prevails. The imaginative Marco - "To Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street - creatively parses words to explain his tardy arrival at school. Marco is definitely a politician in the making. Officer Pat, a less familiar Seuss character, saves the town from disaster - or what he thinks may be a disaster - in a series of hilarious actions. Finally, the Grinch - before he stole Christmas - cleverly markets a piece of green string to the Hoobub.
The stories in "Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories" are all imaginative, absurd enough to delight children and adults, alike, and wonderful to read alone or to someone you love. Each story, whether rhymed or written in prose form, has a moral or lesson to be learned. Dr. Seuss' ability to create words and imbue characters with so much personality they cannot be forgotten shines through every tale. The rhymed stories flow smoothly and are easy to read aloud. Even when Dr. Seuss creates new words so that a rhyme is possible, the words seem to make sense and to be "real" words.
Whether you are adding a new book to your own library or helping a child you love grow their own book collection, "Horton and the Kwuggerbug and More Lost Stories" is one book that must be included. Five stars!
My wife and I have been purchasing Seuss books as Christmas gifts for our son. He's barely two, and doesn't appreciate them yet, but we wanted him to have good quality literature in the house and readily available when he is ready to dive into reading on his own. Imagine our delight when we found out that there was a new Seuss book being released. We've seen some unimpressive posthumous books released before (Seuss and others) and more times than not, they don't measure up, but this is a rare exception. In this book, Charles Cohen, a Seuss expert and compiler of a previous Seuss anthology, The Bippolo Seed, compiled four stories that originally appeared in the 1950s:
Horton and the Kwuggerbug
Marco Comes Late
How Officer Pat Saved the Whole Town
The Hoobub and the Grinch
If you're just an average Seuss fan, you'll immediately recognize Horton and the Grinch. If you are a super-Seuss fan then you're recognize Marco from Mulberry Street. Officer Pat's story also takes place on Mulberry Street. Like all of Seuss' works, these books are more than just fanciful tales with fun illustrations, but contain lessons for your children. They aren't always obvious, so you as a parent might have to explain them to the little ones, but that's okay because you want to talk with your children about books so that they will always have a love for books. Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase and can't wait to see if Cohen will be able to unearth any other lost Seuss gems.
Adorable Story! My Grandson, age 5 loves it and so do I !
I LOVE DR. SUESS, so I was excited to order this book. I was very disappointed, however. Clearly, there was a good reason these stories were lost.
This book is delightfull. Every father that liikes to read to their children should have this in their collection. I like it at least as much as my girls do.
