Because a Little Bug Went Ka-Choo!

Grades Preschool – 2
Ages 3–7

Follow along as one sneeze turns a town upside down in this classic easy reader by “Rosetta Stone”—the pen name for Dr. Seuss writing with Michael Frith!

Just one "KA-CHOO" causes a whole chain of hilarity, from a splashing turtle to a wet hen, to a flying policeman, a sinking boat, and just about everyone crashing a circus parade! Readers young and old will be entertained by this silly story. So, turn the page and find out what could possibly happen next!

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.
