The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins (Classic Seuss)
by Dr. SeussAs topical today as when it was first published in 1938, this book tells of Bartholomew Cubbins (from Caldecott Honor winner Bartholomew and the Oobleck) and his unjust treatment at the hands of King Derwin. Each time Bartholomew attempts to obey the king&’s order to take off his hat, he finds there is another hat on his head. Soon it is Bartholomew&’s head that is in danger . . . of being chopped off! While The 500 Hats is one of Dr. Seuss&’s earliest works, it is nevertheless totally Seussian, addressing subjects that we know the good doctor was passionate about: abuse of power (as in Yertle the Turtle), rivalry (as in The Sneetches), and of course, zany good humor!
The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes: An Easter And Springtime Book For Kids (Sandpiper Bks.)
by DuBose HeywardA hardworking mother rabbit achieves her dream job the night before Easter in this classic picture book.When eggs need to be delivered to all the world’s children the night before Easter, only the fastest bunnies are chosen for the job. The country bunny, a little brown rabbit named Cottontail is a mama to twenty-one little ones, thinks that perhaps her lifelong dream of being one of the five Easter Bunnies is a hopeless one.But when Grandfather Bunny searches for a new Easter Bunny, he is looking for someone who is wise, kind, swift, and clever. He is looking for Cottontail. So begins this brave mama bunny’s night of adventure and magic.Whimsical and sweet with bright illustrations in Easter egg pastels, the country bunny’s story is as magical today as it was in 1939. It is a celebration of the timeless values of equality, hard work, and patient ambition.Praise for The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes“It is difficult to believe that this very modern feminist tale was originally written in 1939. A gem of a fantasy in which kindness and cleverness win out over size and brawn.” —Learning Magazine
