5 Dr. Seuss Books for just $5.95!
We love Dr. Seuss books in our house. When I can find them at yard sales or consignment sales, I get them, but last year I decided to try this special offer to get 5 Dr. Seuss books for just $5.95. I was always nervous about it when I saw it in the past because it seemed like too good of a deal to be true, but I’m happy to report that it was completely legit!!
I ordered my books on their site, picking my favorites. Then after I received my books, I easily cancelled my subscription so I didn’t keep receiving 3 new books each month for less than $6 each.
I can’t tell you how glad I am that I purchased these books and have them on hand. My oldest child quickly recognized the titles I chose from school, where he read them in first grade. And my first grader this year, who has been struggling with reading, just in the past few weeks has picked up each and every one of our Dr. Seuss books and has been loving reading them!!
Did you know that “Green Eggs and Ham” has only 50 words in it?
It’s perfect for beginner readers! A child is never too young to introduce Dr. Seuss’ poetic meter. Reading to babies and young children helps with brain development and fosters a bonding experience with families.
Dr. Seuss mastered the repetition of sound throughout his stories, which makes his books perfect for beginner readers learning to connect sounds and letters to form words and sentences. Wacky plots and tongue twisters make his books thoroughly entertaining, inspires creative thinking and promotes pre-reading skills. Dr. Seuss’ stories, such as The Lorax, also teach valuable life lessons, whether it’s about responsibility for the environment, never giving up or being true to yourself.
