Put Me in the Zoo

Edited by Dr. Seuss, this classic Beginner Book about finding your place in the world celebrates its 60th Anniversary!

Spot longs to be in the zoo with all the other animals, but the zoo doesn't want him! In this beloved Beginner Book edited by Dr. Seuss, Spot shows a young boy and girl all the exciting things he can do with his spots—from changing their color and juggling them, to moving them onto different objects! Beginning readers will be delighted by Robert Lopshire's lively, rhymed story that not only teaches about colors, but proves there is a special spot for everyone, including Spot. Available for a limited time only with a peel-off 60th Anniversary sticker on the front cover, Put Me in the Zoo is a concept book with a timeless message. (Fans of Spot will also want to check out I Want to Be Somebody New!—the sequel to Put Me in the Zoo.)

Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.

"A hilarious story for a first-grade pupil to read. Shows that reading can be fun even if the vocabulary is very limited." —Material Analysis Publications.
