Synopsis "A Fish out of Water (Beginner Books) (in English)"

A classic, comic easy reader about getting a pet! In this beloved Beginner Book written by Mrs. Dr. Seuss (aka Helen Palmer), a young boy hilariously learns the consequences of not following instructions when he feeds too much to his goldfish--causing it to grow as big as a whale! With delightfully retro illustrations by P.D. Eastman (Go, Dog. Go!), the message of the book--that getting a pet is a big responsibility--is as true today as it was when the book was published in 1961. Perfect for beginning readers and read-alouds--and anyone getting a pet, especially a fish--it's ideal for birthdays, holidays, and happy occasions of all kinds! Launched in 1957 with The Cat in the Hat and written specifically for emergent readers, Beginner Books combine an exacting blend of simple words and fun pictures that encourage children to read--all by themselves."Comic pictures show how the fish rapidly outgrows its bowl, a vase, a cook pot, a bathtub."--The New York Times.

P. D. Eastman fue un autor e ilustrador que creó muchos libros para niños, entre ellos Are You My Mother? y Go, Dog. Formado en la Academia Nacional de Diseño, se alistó en el ejército en 1943 y fue asignado a la Unidad de Cine del Cuerpo de Señales, dirigida por Theodor Geisel, quien eventualmente sería conocido en el mundo como Dr. Seuss. Después de que Geisel se le acercara para escribir su nueva serie de libros para principiantes en Random House, Eastman publicó su primer libro, Sam and the Firefly. Desde entonces, Random House ha vendido más de 30 millones de libros de P. D. Eastman, y se ha convertido en uno de los autores de libros infantiles más queridos del mundo.
