description: What would life be like if you had feet like a duck, or horns like a deer, a whale spout on your head, or a very long nose?In this crazy tale a small boy imagines all these things, and more! Follow him as he weighs the pros and cons of possessing various animal appendages—such as a duck's feet, a deer's antlers, a whale's spout, an elephant's trunk, and a long, long tail—only to decide in the end that perhaps it’s better to be “ME” after all. A wacky, insightful story that beginning readers will wish to hear again and again!Illustrated by renowned cartoonist Barney Tobey, I Wish that I Had Duck Feet is impossible to forget. Originally created by Dr. Seuss, Beginner Books encourage children to read all by themselves, with simple words and illustrations that give clues to their meaning.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.
