Hop on Pop: The Simplest Seuss for Youngest Use (Bright & Early Board Books)

My wife purchased this book for our Kindergartener after she (my daughter) had requested it. She had seen it in her school library and was very excited to show us how funny the idea of "hopping on pop" (on me!!) was and that she could read some of the words. After we got it, she found that she was able to read the whole thing all the way through. She was so surprised and proud of herself! If you want to build confidence in your child and develop a love for reading-this is a great book. The reason this is so great for an early reader is pretty genius! The book starts off easy enough, with a couple of rhyming phrases per page (like; HOP ON POP, etc.). As the story moves on, the rhyming words are replaced (sometimes only by changing out a letter-as in H-A-T to C-A-T). While a simple idea, it provides a great learning and reinforcement tool for your child that is twofold: (1) your child learns new words by "building" on a previously known word by having to change the initial sound to match the new letter on the rhyming word, and (2) by showing them the importance of letters and their placement in a word to change its sound. The book is never overly difficult, but rather, perfectly paced for an emerging or first time reader. And of course, true to Dr. Seuss fashion, the artwork is engaging, wonderful and funny all at the same time. This is by far, my daughter's favorite book at the moment and she won't hesitate to offer to "read the whole book" to anyone who is willing to listen! She is developing a real love of reading from this. If you are a "pop" or know of one with a new reader, this classic is just the ticket! Definitely a winner for our family.

This was my daughter's favorite book when she was 4 or 5, and she knew all the lines in it. There was a period of time when she wanted to have us read this book every single night, so I knew all the lines too and still remember them all these decades later. I just got it for my 3 year old great grandson and now he loves it too! Dr. Seuss books are so great for kids, and especially when learning to read.

This is one of the best books for beginning readers and even first or second graders who are behind. Tons if sounds and they love the pictures and rhyming

Arrived in great condition

So light and fun to read with on-the-verge readers. I loved this book as a child, and I've bought it 50 years or so later for the three-year-old girl I babysit. It is much enjoyed by yet another generation.

Great classic Suess book! Perfect for beginning readers.

Wir haben dieses Buch seit dem er 10 Monaten alt wahr. Wir lesen dieses Buch immer noch gerne. Wir sind jetzt aber schon 17 Monaten.

It's a really good book for kids who are learning to read. Simple 3-4 letter words with funny visuals. Dr. Suess never disappoints

For anyone who has grown up with Dr. Seuss, this is one of the classics and one that often seems to get missed out of sets so seems to be a little bit rarer for some reason. It is particularly appropriate for the younger Seuss fans (not sure I can justify counting myself in that list any longer, but I still love the book).

A great book for toddlers. My 3 year old loves it. And it's a nice way to learn rhyming words.

Gotta love Dr. Seuss!
