Sobre este artículo
New York: Random House, 1958. Early printing. Hardcover. Very good +/very good +. Quarto, unpaginated (about 40pp.), illustrated. A rather crisp, clean, square copy, very good or better in the publisher's printed boards. Bottom corners show mild abrasions, and there is a neat, small gift inscription (dated 1963) on the front free endpaper. In a very good or better dust jacket, gently rubbed, with very shallow chipping to extremities. Presents quite nicely. An early printing, with the correct price on the dust jacket (295/295), but with the back panel showing 17 titles in the top box, and not showing the book covers, as is the case on the first issue dust jacket. Altogether an attractive copy of an early printing of this Seuss classic.

El Apr 19 2023, un lector dijo:
Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories is a delightful old favorite about an ambitious, self centered, fascistic turtle which was first published on my brother's 3rd birthday in the year that I became 2 years old. This imaginative illustrated collection of 3 stories starts with the famous story of Yertle the Turtle, who was 'king of all he could see', and logically concluded that, if he could see more, he could rule more. Illustrated by by Theodor Geisel, or 'Dr Seuss' in his black outline cartoon style, with selective highlights of color which imbues believable human emotion in his cast of characters. Children love the rhythmic rhymes read allowed to them with expressive vocal tones. With repeated readings, some kids memorize and recite portions of the story long before they can read it themselves. Acording th this websites synopsis of Yertle the Turtle and other stories, Seuss used "a type of meter called anapestic tetrameter." All I know is his use of it is well loved and wonderful to children of all ages!
