A charming Beginner Book about a lovable—but sometimes hard to see—lizard by award-winning illustrator Bob Staake!This bright, cheerful early reader about a giant lizard hiding in unlikely—and un-lizard-like—places combines Staake's trademark high-energy graphic style with the classic appeal of Dr. Seuss, P. D. Eastman, and Robert Lopshire!
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.
