SynopsisOne of the earliest picture books from Dr. Seuss, this charming classic reminds readers that when we work hard, we should also take the time to PLAY hard too! In the Kingdom of Binn, King Birtram works very hard, up at five every morning to ensure the kingdom is running smoothly. But at five o'clock in the afternoon, the workday ends and it's time to play--and in the case of King Birtram, that means racing around town on a pair of red stilts! But sour old Lord Droon doesn't think that this kind of fun befits Binn's king. . . . A Seussian spin on a conventional fairy tale, The King's Stilts is as topical today as when it was first published in 1939. Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works), The King's Stilts nevertheless addresses subjects that we know Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life: duty, as in Horton Hears a Who ; the abuse of power, as in Yertle the Turtle ; deceit, as in How the Grinch Stole Christmas --and even cats, as in The Cat in the Hat ! Follow the Good Doctor's advice: After a hard day of work, have fun with a great book like The King's Stilts !, A seventy-five-year-old King gets new vintage cover art for his anniversary Celebrate the 75th birthday of Dr. Seuss's classic treatise on the importance of a balanced life with our Anniversary Edition featuring cover art from the books original publication A Seussian spin on a conventional fairy tale, The King's Stilts is as topical today as when it was first published in 1939. It's the story of a devoted king who works hard and plays hard--and whose entire kingdom is threatened when his beloved stilts are stolen and he is too distraught to do his job. Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works), The King's Stilts nevertheless addresses subjects that we know Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life: duty (as in Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches the Egg ); the abuse of power (as in The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins and Yertle the Turtle ); deceit (as in The Bippolo Seed and How the Grinch Stole Christmas) --and even cats (as in The Cat in the Hat and I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today ) A perfect way to introduce new readers to an old classic, or to reward existing fans with a collectible new edition. Follow the Good Doctor's advice: After a hard day of work, have fun with a great book like The King's Stilts

The King's Stilts by Dr. Suess, Interest to students. Action.
This was a reprint of an original Dr. Suess from 1937 to add to my collection. I'd read it to my classroom then go out and learn to walk on stilts after I'd demonstrated how to do it. Years later, they still remember the experience.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
