1) Hardcover Book Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! (Bright & Early Books(R)) by Random House Books for Young Readers. Who can resist a turn into the clasic world of the kind of bully that doesnt beat--just ignores? The narrator is having the birthday party of the century and has no plans to invite Hooper Humperdink.
As the guest list grows (via the alphabet) the party becomes just as extravagant--and it is just mean to ignore poor Hooper.
Besides being an alphabet book on the surface, this holds a great message of including others.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! (Bright & Early Books(R)) by Random House Books for Young Readers. I had no idea this book existed (nor did I know that Dr. Seuss wrote books that he didn´t illustrate). But my three-year-old found it at the library one day several months ago and she loves it. We´ve maxed out our renewals and now need our own copy! The story has a great message of inclusion and how silly it is to exclude people because they´re a little different - Hooper´s fault appears to be that he likes jazz. Highly recommended!¤ 3) Hardcover Book Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! (Bright & Early Books(R)) by Random House Books for Young Readers. This is my 2 year old son´s favorite book and I really believe it is the reason that he knew his ABC´s by 18 months. We had the 1970´s printing from when I was a kid and I started reading it to him at about 15 months. Through lots of use that one began to wear so I bought this one. The story is still the same but the pictures are not as whimsical and intricate as the previous printing. We still love this book and hope that he will pass it on to his children one day.¤ 4) Hardcover Book Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! (Bright & Early Books(R)) by Random House Books for Young Readers. What a shame they´ve changed the author´s name (Dr. Suess did write it, but did so under his pen name Theo. LeSieg, which was his practice when he didn´t illustrate the book.) An even bigger pity: that they should have a different illustrator. Charles Martin illustrated the original and did a fine job at that.¤ 5) Hardcover Book Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! (Bright & Early Books(R)) by Random House Books for Young Readers. We stayed at a friend´s beach house this summer and my 2 1/2 year old daughter found this book on their bookshelf. It was the older version with incredible illustrations--not these newer illustrations, which I do not care for as much...
Anyway, I must have read it to her about 100 times during the two weeks we were at the beach and had to find her a copy (of the older version) when we got home.
It seemed a little sad the first few times I read it, but actually it teaches a lot about acceptance.
A great book!¤ 6) Hardcover Book Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him! (Bright & Early Books(R)) by Random House Books for Young Readers. From Alice and Abe to Zeb and Zipper, an alphabetical array of guests turns out for the biggest birthday party ever. But Hooper Humperdink isn’t on the guest list!¤ Page Updated: Robert N.
