Please Try to Remember the First of Octember! Hardcover - 1977

by Theo Lesieg; Dr Seuss; Art Cummings (Illustrator)

This wonderfully exaggerated LeSeig Beginner Book gently pokes fun at the green-eyed monster in all of us. Full color.


From the publisher

Dr. Seuss imagines a day when all your wishes come true in this classic Beginner Book. Octember the First is the day on which all your most outlandish wishes come true. If March is too dusty and April too gusty, if May is too early and June is too soon, just try to remember the first of Octember, when whatever you are hoping to get will be yours! From a balloon pool in the sky to a pickle tree in your backyard, Please Try to Remember the First of Octember! is a wildly silly story that will have readers laughing--and wishing--out loud. Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.

First line

Everyone wants a big green kangaroo.

From the jacket flap

Question: What do you get the kid who wants everything? Answer: Please Try to Remember the First of Octember!, the wonderfully exaggerated LeSeig Beginner Book that gently pokes fun at the green-eyed monster in all of us. Reissued with a new cover taken from the interior, this backlist classic is a parent's wish come true!
