One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish (Beginner Books(R))

Amazonのエディトリアルレビューより

   「ベッドで凧を上げたことはある？ ネコを10匹頭にのせて歩いたことは？」セオドア・ドクター・スースことガイゼルによる数々の名作には、このような深遠で哲学的な質問が出てくる。このカプレット集に収録された詩の多くは、スフィンクスほど謎めいているが、スースの意図するところは明らかだ。それは、読むことが楽しく勉強にもなることを、子どもに教えるということ。ひとつひとつの場面はすばらしく、前の場面と次の場面に何のつながりもないことなど問題ではない。（たとえばひとこぶワンプとミスター・ガンプの場面から、頭に毛が1本はえた黄色いペット、ゼッズの場面へも、違和感なく移っていける。）1960年の初版以来ずっとそうであったように、今どきの子どもたちもまた、これらのおかしな詩に魅了されるだろう。あまりに楽しくておもしろくて、いつのまにか本が読めるようになっていることすら気づかないかもしれない！(4～8才向け)

Amazon.com Review

"Did you ever fly a kite in bed? Did you ever walk with ten cats on your head?" Such are the profound, philosophical queries posed in this well-loved classic by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel. While many rhymes in this couplet collection resemble sphinx-worthy riddles, Seuss's intention is clear: teach children to read in a way that is both entertaining and educational. It matters little that each wonderful vignette has nothing to do with the one that follows. (We move seamlessly from a one-humped Wump and Mister Gump to yellow pets called the Zeds with one hair upon their heads.) Children today will be as entranced by these ridiculous rhymes as they have been since the book's original publication in 1960--so amused and enchanted, in fact, they may not even notice they are learning to read! (Ages 4 to 8)
