Description

In this hilarious tale of mishap and misadventure, Dr. Seuss reminds us just how lucky we are. A madcap misadventure that roams from the Kavern of Krock to a forest in France, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are? is the perfect tale for readers today and a helpful reminder that there is always someone worse off than ourselves. From the best-loved author of The Cat in the Hat, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Horton Hears a Who! and so much more, this hilarious story is packed with all the same Dr. Seuss characteristics we know and love – riotous rhyme, zany artwork and totally off-the-wall humour; Dr. Seuss's irrepressible optimism is front and center. 'Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are?' is a classic Dr. Seuss story about a boy called Duckie who feels quite unlucky, and an old man who goes on to recount all the other people who are in far more precarious a situation than he. It's a story of optimism, of looking on the bright side of things, and above all, a story about being grateful for one's place without losing the inertia to improve it. With his unique combination of hilarious stories, zany pictures and riotous rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read for over fifty years. Creator of the wonderfully anarchic 'Cat in the Hat', and ranked among the world's top children's authors, Dr. Seuss is a global best-seller, with nearly half a billion books sold worldwide.
