I did read this as a kid, but I only realized recently exactly who "Theo. LeSieg" was: reading it now I can see how the words and the story fit his style, even though he didn't do his own illustrations for these books. Some of them have been republished under the author's more famous nom de plume.

Left on a bench outside the parking garage for my Middle-of-the-year number challenge and Secretariat's 2012 Never Judge a Book By Its Cover Challenge (week 40).

This book was set free to find a new reader; I'm so glad you've found it!

This is now your book and you may do whatever you like with it, but I'm hoping you will read and enjoy it. You're welcome to keep it for as long as you wish, and you can even mark it for your "permanent collection" if you'd like...but you don't have to.

In fact, there are no requirements: it's really a free book - no strings. On the other hand, if you do make a journal entry to let the book's previous readers know that it's safely in your hands (anonymously if you wish), that would be super. :D

If you're new to BookCrossing, I hope you will take some time to explore this wonderful free and anonymous community of book lovers and learn about what it has to offer. If you decide to sign up, you may use me (hyphen8) as your referring member if you like.

When you're done with the book, please do feel free to make a journal entry saying what you thought of it or what you plan to do with it next. If you decide to pass it this book to another reader or leave it for someone else to find, joining BookCrossing will allow you to follow the book's future travels whenever another reader makes a journal entry...who knows where it will turn up next?

BookCrossing: making the whole world a library!

My son found this book in the Hale Koa parking garage. We were excited that this book was on an adventure and we got to be a part! This is one of the first books that all three of my kids learned to read. We all love Dr. Seuss! (And Theo LeSieg! ;) )

We have a copy of this book already so we're going to find a great place to release this book into the wild again so that someone else will get to read it and have an adventure!
