I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today! and Other Stories
© 2013 Oceanhouse Media
Dr. Suess fans can keep celebrating -- Oceanhouse Media keeps churning out classic Dr. Suess stories that are hard to find in your traditional library, but are a delight to read. The headliner -- "I Can Lick 30 Tigers" is the first of three featuring Cat in the Hat, as he explores big themes like humility, equality and teamwork. In this story, a boastful young Cat In The Hat learns the perils of bragging, and must figure out how to talk his way out of fighting 30 tigers. In King Looie Katz, King Looie of Katzen-stein proudly gloats about his royal tail and insists it be carried around so it doesn't touch the ground. Soon, all cats in the kingdom are carrying around each others tails until one small cat revolts leading to "demo-catic" results. The Glunk that got Thunk features a small cat who tells the story of his imaginative sister who "thunked a Glunk." She tries to "un-thunk" the Glunk but it takes teaming up with her brother. As with other Oceanhouse titles, there's excellent text scaffolding to help emerging readers, and the ability to record your own narration.
