苏斯博士，可以说是二十世纪最受欢迎的儿童图画书作家，在英语世界里，是家喻户晓的人物。他创作的图画书，人物形象鲜明，个性突出，情节夸张荒诞，语言妙趣横生，是半个多世纪以来孩子们的至爱，同时他的书也被教育工作者推荐给家长，作为提高阅读能力的重要读物。
孩子喜欢的古怪精灵的读物，为什么也会受到教师的青昧，被列为学生提高阅读能力的重要读物呢?这与苏斯博士开始创作儿童图画书的背景有关。
二十世纪五十年代，美国教育界反思儿童阅读能力低下的状况，认为一个重要原因就是当时广泛使用的进阶型读物枯燥无味，引不起孩子的兴趣。苏斯博士的Beginner Books便应运而生。作为初级阅读资料，这些书力求使用尽可能少的简单词汇，讲述完整的故事。但远远高于过去进阶型读物的，是苏斯博士丰富的想象力、引人入胜的情节和风趣幽默、充满创造力的绘画和语言。
苏斯博士的图画书在讲述有趣故事的同时，更有一个特别的功能，即通过这些故事来使孩子们从兴趣出发轻松地学习英语。从简单的字母，到短语、句子，再到一个个故事，苏斯博士的图画书，亦是一套让孩子们循序渐进掌握英语的优秀读物。例如其中《苏斯博士的ABC》一书，就从英文的二十六个字母入手，将字母和单词配合起来讲解，同时，这些单词又组成了一个个韵味十足的句子，不断重复加深读者对字母的记忆和理解。《一条鱼两条鱼红色的鱼蓝色的鱼》和《在爸爸身上蹦来跳去》也是采取类似的方式进行单词和句子的讲解。《穿袜子的狐狸》则是充满了饶有风趣的绕口令，对诵读者来说是一个充满快乐的挑战。

This book is very simple, but the rhythm is great and it's funto read. It's got beautiful illustrations for the babies to enjoy,a few words for the toddlers to learn, and some clever turns ofphrase that my preschooler is just now picking up on. Highlyrecommended.
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques.
The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
