New Releases by Theodor Seuss Geisel

Even in silhouette, the fun and fanciful art of Dr. Seuss is instantly recognizable in this Bright and Early Book classic: "a bug, a balloon, a bed, a bike. No shapes are ever quite alike." Looking at ordinary shapes is great when seen through the eyes of the remarkable Dr. Seuss, but of course it''s the extraordinary shapes that really make an impression. Would you want to be shaped like a BLOGG? Combining brief and funny stories, easy words, catchy rhythm, and lively illustrations, Bright and Early Books are an ideal way to introduce the joys of reading to children.

Dr. Seuss tells three rhyming tales featuring the extended family of the Cat in the Hat in I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! And Other Stories. The Cat''s son shows bravado in "I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today!" while his daughter gets a bit carried away imagining "The Glunk That Got Thunk." And we look back at one of the Cat''s ancestors for a tale about tails in "King Looie Katz." This lesser-known collection of classic Seussian silliness will be a welcome addition to the libraries of fans of all ages! From the Hardcover edition.

Celebrate sleep with Dr. Seuss's classic rhyming good-night picture book. Van Vleck, a very small bug, is getting sleepy, and his yawn-contagious as yawns are-sets off a chain reaction, making all those around him feel sleepy, too! With typically Seussian nods to alarm clocks, sleepwalking, and snoring, this charming ode to bedtime will lull listeners (and readers) toward dreamland. Zzzzzzzzzz. From the Hardcover edition.

"Illustrator by day, surrealist by night, Ted Geisel created a body of previously little-known work during his leisure hours that he called his ''Midnight Paintings,'' and which is now known as ''The Secret Art of Dr. Seuss.'' This irrepressible and soulful collection redefines Ted Geisel as an iconic American artist. For sixty years, his ''Secret Art'' allowed Geisel to expand his artistic boundaries without the confines and pressures of commercial deadlines and influences. These paintings afforded the peaceful distraction that he craved, and through this work, the tenets of surrealism--surprise and juxtaposition--energized his sensibilities. This volume exuberantly juxtaposes Geisel''s ''Midnight Paintings'' with his best-loved children''s books because this was how Dr. Seuss constructed his creative life--his days devoted to literature for children, his nights to letting his mind and palette wander to even stranger shores. Inevitably, Geisel created images in his private artworks that would find their way into his literary projects. Though he fiercely protected his ''Secret Art'' from criticism during his lifetime, his intention all along was for these works to be seen when he was gone."--From publisher''s description.
