Shut the Door!

Description

Unavailable for almost 20 years, a funny easy-reader about responsibility gets a fresh new look!When a little bear forgets to close the door to his house, he encounters a series of unwelcome (and untidy) visitors—including a swarm of flies, an egg-loving skunk, and a moose in search of a bath! This rhymed easy-reader by Robert Lopshire—author of Put Me in the Zoo and I Want to Be Somebody New!—is perfect for beginning readers, and its surprise ending (in which the little bear’s mom forgets to shut the door herself—oops!) will leave kids giggling with glee while reinforcing the message that we ALL need to be responsible for our actions. With charming new illustrations by Maria Karipidou, this is the kind of classic, funny Beginner Book with a message that kids, parents, and educators will adore!Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, this beloved early reader series motivates children to read on their own by using simple words with illustrations that give clues to their meaning. Featuring a combination of kid appeal, supportive vocabulary, and bright, cheerful art, Beginner Books will encourage a love of reading in children ages 3–7.
