Beginner Books是苏斯博士夫妇和兰登书屋于1957年合创，针对学前儿童所创设的一个图书品牌"小孩学读书"书系，旨在用少、简单的词汇写成生动有趣的故事，同时配上插画，让孩子能看着插画自己学习阅读。

语言上的特色保留了苏斯博士的韵律性，重复性及趣味性, 插图诙谐，颜色饱和，给孩子带来一场愉快的阅读之旅。同时Beginner Books丛书的语言设计涉及了大量的韵词（Rhyming words）和重复（Repetition），因此可以把这套书作为练习自然拼读技巧（Phonics skill）的材料。 

俗称大蓝书，The Big Blue Book of Beginner Books 是这个系列的第一本，为感谢除苏斯博士以外的其他作者对该丛书系列的贡献，有早期开拓者及皇牌作家P.D Eastman，Robert M. Lopshire 和 Al Perkins 的著名作品，还有在80年代为该系列注入新力量的新锐作家 Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollen。

What could make a better present than a classic Beginner Book? Six of them—for less than the price of two! Weve taken the complete text and art of three beloved P.D. Eastman titles: Go, Dog. Go!, Are You My Mother?, and The Best Nest; Robert Lopshires Put Me In the Zoo (the first of his books featuring the character Spot); Marilyn Sadler and Roger Bollens Its Not Easy Being a Bunny (the first PJ Funnybunny story); and Mike McClintocks charming, cautionary tale A Fly Went By, and bound them together in one sturdy hardcover omnibus. A perfect introduction to reading that will whet young readers appetites for additional books in the Beginner Book series.

P. D. Eastman was an author-illustrator who created many children’s books, including Are You My Mother?, Go, Dog. Go!, and The Best Nest. Trained at the National Academy of Design, he enlisted in the army in 1943 and was assigned to the Signal Corps Film Unit—which was headed by Theodor Geisel, who would eventually become known to the world as Dr. Seuss. After Geisel later approached him to write for his new Beginner Book series at Random House, Eastman published his first book, Sam and the Firefly. Since then, Random House has sold more than 30 million books by P. D. Eastman, and he has become one of the most beloved children’s book authors in the world.
