Thump!/The Lost Egg (Dr. Seuss/The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!) (Pictureback(R))
Description
Fans of PBS Kids' The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! are in for a spring-themed (and Easter basket-ready) treat! In Thump! (the first of two stories in this Deluxe "2 in 1" Book), the Cat and Co. learn how rabbits communicate warnings to each other by thumping their feet on the ground, and in The Lost Egg, when Sally and Nick find a strange egg in the nest of a bowerbird, they discover not only that birds lay different kinds of eggs in different kinds of nests, but that birds are not the only animals who lay eggs! Complete with 50 glitter stickers, this is a perfect, inexpensive, super-informative read featuring two of the most iconic images of Easter: rabbits and eggs--plus the always-iconic Cat in the Hat!
