I loved Dr. Seuss as a child and was thrilled to find this gift set for my daughter for Christmas. After reading the books with her, I noticed that parts of the stories that I remembered as a child were absent. Sure enough, I checked the inside front cover, and they're abridged!--Not that it really matters to my 10 month old who is more interested in turning the board book pages and looking at the illustrations, but it does to me. I was pretty disappointed because I felt a little cheated, since the description doesn't warn you that they are abridged.
This is a great set of Dr. Seuss board books. The size is great large enough to read and small enough for our 11 month old to easily handle on his own. Good high quality board stock is used with a nice and glossy finish and a good thickness. The packaging is also excellent, it comes in a very nice presentation box making it an excellent choice as a gift. As far as value, you can't beat it!!! You get four book for about the price of two. I will keep this set in mind for future gift giving!
I actually like that these are abridged versions since a child who is reading board books won't have the attention span to read the full version, plus we get to rediscover the full version once my daughter is old enough to no rip the pages out. My issue is that I only like two of the four books included. I enjoy reading "Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!" and "The Shape of Me and Other Stuff" with my little girl, but "Hop on Pop" and "Ten Apples Up On Top!" are awkward and mundane.
This item was given to our one year old nephew for his birthday. He absolutely loves books, and this was a perfect gift for him. Both he and his mother enjoyed it a lot!
I was a little upset to get these and figure out they weren't the original wording of the full sized books. I guess I should have read the description better. My bad. I went ahead and gave them to he intended recipient and her mother was really really pleased with the set. Long story short: great gift, as long as you aren't an unabridged purist (which I kinda am).
Gave as gifts to three babies thus far! Very much appreciated!
These are the abridged versions...which I'm okay with. Our daughters love these stories. The only issue I have with this collection is that they included "Ten Apples Up On Top!" in this mix. It's just a bizarre addition to this collection; it doesn't fit with the other three books. Other than that small issue, this is a good buy and am happy.
Tucked inside this seemingly innocuous box of books is a lethal title called Ten Apples Up On Top. It should be called Look, Mom, At THIS Crap I Can Put In My Hair. My toddlers LOVE this book. Three animals try to one-up each other by balancing more and more apples on their heads. One on top, then two...up to ten. It all goes on top. And now the toddlers put everything on top, too. Because it's so much fun to put stuff on their heads. Oatmeal. Dirt. Play Doh. Cheese. Blueberries. "Wook!" they say, "On top! On top!" Uh huh. Back to the bath tub. I didn't need to do anything else today besides wash their hair. Again.
