Summary: My son's favorite anything!
Review: My almost 12-month-old has lots of toys, books, play things galore...but of all his belongings he loves this book the absolute most! If he wakes in the night, we have to read it at least 5 times before he will give up and go back to sleep. He loves to have me read it to him and to point out the items as I ask for them. I'm now searching to find him another copy to keep on hand as a back-up in case anything ever happens to it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who feels excitement at seeing joy and delight in a child's eyes.

Summary: Theo. Lesieg introduces kids to nouns around the house
Review: The whole point of the Bright and Early Books for Beginning Beginners was to give young kids easy to read books where they would want to actually read them because they are funny books with easy words and clear pictures. "In a People House" is a book that combines easy to read rhymes with common household items. The idea is that a mouse shows Mr. Bird the inside of a "people house," where there are not only standard things like doors and ceiling but also more interesting objects like roller skates and doughtnuts.

Written by Dr. Seuss under his Theo. LeSieg pseudonym, used when somebody else besides Theodore Geisel was doing the artwork, this book simply provides beginning readers with over 60 different nouns. Illustrated by Roy McKie, "In a People House" is intended to give kids the words to go with the objects they are likely to see around the house. The book is essentially a list, manipulated so that the rhyme works, so for the most part kids are going to find words like "pencil" and "toothbrush" next to drawings of the mouse or Mr. Bird with the object.

This approach here is simple and effective. Since the objects you are likely to find "In a People House" have not changed all that significantly since this book was first published in 1972 it is still going to do the job it was created for three decades later. Young kids should be able to find the words in this book that go with the objects in their house, and being able to "look up" words in a book is a great skill for them to learn as well.

Summary: this was a good book
Review: Theo LeSieg (also known as Dr. Seuss) produces a new word book sort of like Hop on Pop but with a continuing plot.

A mouse wants to show a bird what a people house is like. The two animals scamper around the house with the mouse naming common household items. But eventually the mouse remembers that there is something else in a people house. People! The two animals return to the outdoors.

Plenty of vocabulary words that children should be familiar with (although some may not be familiar with a telephone with a dial). This is great for helping children learn to read. The words are large and clear (not small and on a dark background like in some books), thus making it even easier to learn.

Summary: Of course it's Dr. Seuss!
Review: This is an appropriate book for kids less than 2 years old. It is a vocabulary book that simply lists a bunch of pictures and the words that goes with the pictures. It lists many of the common every day items that you would find in a house. It is not clever and I dare say, it's not _really_ a Dr. Seuss book The Illustration quality is WAY BELOW AVERAGE compared to ANY picture book for young children.

Like many books, if its the first one your parents give to you, you will probably love the book. I believe that this is why some other reviewers have raved about this book.
