Hop on Pop

By: Dr. Seuss

Narrated by: David Hyde Pierce

Introduce children to Dr. Seuss’s wonderfully witty wordplay with this classic rhyming book, known as “the simplest Seuss for youngest use.”

HOP
POP
We like to hop.
We like to hop
on top of Pop.

Follow along with Red and Ned and Ted and Ed in a bed. And giggle as Pat sits on a hat and on a cat and on a bat...but a cactus? Pat must NOT sit on that! Full of short, simple words and silly rhymes, the rollicking rhythm of Hop on Pop will keep children of all ages entertained throughout.

Critic reviews

“Combines phonics and word recognition, making sounds and letters recognizable. Highly recommended.”—School Library Journal (starred review)

Helping them love language

I recommend all Dr. Seuss to help new readers enjoy reading and build fluency. The clever silly words, rhyme and repetition are all the more powerful when students can hear them and repeat them. Dr. Seuss has helped so many readers enjoy the sound and rhtyhm of our language. Hop on Pop is a particularly good starting place for kids as it's language is simple to master.

if you have to listen to kid books...

This is as good as it gets :) David HP + good sound makes it much more tolerable.

I wish the page turned

the title is great as is all of these books. however the pages need to turn to involve the students

Annoying music, no images

I knew there were no images with this audio when I purchased it, but I was expecting first rate audio to make up for it. The audience is younger children, right? So captivating audio is a must! The narration is very dry and unimaginative. And the music played between lines sounds like it was produced on a cheap Casio keyboard from the 80's.

Better and cheaper to buy the Kindle Fire App
