Christening Gift Ideas - Dr Seuss Treasury

Bullet - White EdgeDr Seuss: A Classic Treasury

This is the perfect gift - five of Dr. Seuss' best-loved tales in one attractive book.  A wonderful gift, featuring five of the hilarious classics that made Dr. Seuss one of the best-loved children's authors: "The Cat in the Hat", "The Cat in the Hat Comes Back", "Green Eggs and Ham", "Fox in Socks", and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". 

With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic, "Cat in the Hat", and ranking among the UK's top ten favourite children's authors, Seuss is firmly established as a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide.

Since then their lives have never been quite the same! for ordinary things become quite extraordinary when a bear called Paddington is involved.

Bullet - White EdgeHans Christian Andersen: The Complete Fairy Tales

Hans Christian Andersen, the famous Danish author, wrote 168 fairy tales and 159 of them are included in this mega-book of his works. They are beautifully embroidered, vastly imaginative stories, with a sweet air of melancholy. They are particularly wonderful to read aloud with lots of lively dialogue that invites the use of funny voices, for those like me given to that sort of parental self-humiliation; talking Christmas trees, grouchy toads, haughty queens and toys with an attitude.
