A rhymed Dr. Seuss classic Beginner Book about self-acceptance! In this comical easy-reader by Dr. Seuss, a young boy weighs the pros and cons of possessing various animal appendages—such as a deer''s antlers, a whale''s spout, and an elephant''s trunk-only to decide that he''s better off just being himself. With charming illustrations by New Yorker cartoonist B. Tobey, this is a zany, insightful story that beginning readers will wish to hear again and again! 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.

"Three friends balance counting and fun in this silly Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss and illustrated by Roy McKie. When a lion, a dog, and a tiger meet up, they soon discover that they can each do different things while balancing apples on their heads. Whether drinking milk, jumping rope, or roller-skating, they can do a lot with ten apples up on top! But watch out, she has a mop! She''ll knock those apples from up on top. Seuss''s apple-balancing characters will have youngsters reading, counting, and giggling!"--Publisher''s description.
