Dr. Seuss Beginner Book Video: Hop on Pop (1989) VHS

  • 2 days ago
When The Cat in the Hat was published in 1957 as the first Beginner Book, it revolutionized reading. Today, more than 30 years later, Beginner Books are still revolutionary-and just as much fun! Now generations can enjoy Dr. Seuss's unpredictable humor in these great videos from Random House.

Three classic Dr. Seuss stories:
Hop on Pop: A perfect choice for the start-to-read set, Hop on Pop combines rollicking, rhyming verse with colorful, humorous action-adding up to a great way to introduce new words!

Marvin K. Mooney Will You Please Go Now!: Kids will howl at all the incredibly outrageous ways in which an unwanted Marvin is asked to leave.

Oh Say Can You Say?: "Oh my brothers, oh my sisters, these are terrible tongue twisters!" Fun to try, and twice as much fun to see!

07:27Stop!
07:29You must not hop on Pop.
07:33Mr. Brown
07:36Mrs. Brown
07:39Mr. Brown upside down.
07:45Pop up, Brown down.
07:50Pop is down. Where is Brown?
07:54Where is Brown?
07:57There is Brown.
08:01Mr. Brown is out of town.
08:06Back, Black
08:09Brown came back.
08:12Brown came back with Mr. Black.

08:50He went into the tent.
08:54I sent him out of the tent.
08:59Wet
09:02Get
09:04Two dogs get wet.
09:08Help
09:11Yelp
09:13They yelp for help.
09:17Hill
09:19Will
09:21He went uphill.
09:24Will, hill, still.
09:29Will is uphill still.
09:34Father
09:36Mother
09:39Sister
09:41Brother
09:44That one is my other brother.
09:49My brothers read a little bit.
09:53Little words like if and it.
09:58My father can read big words, too.
10:02Like Constantinople and Timbuktu.
10:08Say, say.
10:12What does this say?
10:20Ask me tomorrow, but not today.
10:33Oh, say can you say, by Dr. Seuss.
10:41Said a book-reading parrot named Hooey.
10:45The words in this book are all fooey.
10:48When you say them, your lips will make slips and backflips,
10:52and your tongue manned up in St. Louis.
10:57Fresh, fresher, freshest
11:00Do you like fresh fish? It's just fine at Finney's Diner.
11:04Finney also has some fresher fish that's fresher and much finer.
11:09But his best fish is his freshest fish, and Finney says with pride.
11:14The finest fish at Finney's is my freshest fish, French fried.
11:20So, don't order the fresh or the fresher fish.
11:25At Finney's, if you're wise, you'll say,
11:29Fetch me the finest French fried freshest fish that Finney fries.
11:36Din's Shin
11:39We have a dinosaur named Din.
11:43Din's thin. Din doesn't have much skin.
11:48And the bones fall out of his left front chin.
11:52Then we have to call in Pinner Blin,
11:56who comes with his handy shin pin bin,
11:59and with a thin blin shin bone pin.
12:02Blin pins Din's shin bones right back in.
12:08Bed Spreader, Bread Spreader
12:12Bed spreaders spread spreads on beds.
12:16Bread spreaders spread butters on breads.
12:21And that bed spreader better watch out how he's spreading,
12:25or that bread spreader's sure going to butter his bedding.
12:32Ape Cakes, Grape Cakes
12:36As he gobbled the cakes on his plate,
12:39the greedy ape said as he ate,
12:42The greener green grapes are, the keener keen apes are,
12:46to gobble green grape cakes, they're great.
12:52Are you having trouble in saying this stuff?
12:57It's really quite easy for me.
13:00I just look in my mirror and see what I say,
13:05and then I just say what I see.
13:10Now let's talk about money.
13:14You should leave your grox home when you travel by air.
13:19If you take him along, they charge double the fare.
13:24And your grox must be packed and locked up in a grox box,
13:29which costs much, much more than a little old fox box.
13:35So it's heaps a lot cheaper to fly with your foxes
13:40than waste all that money on boxes for groxes.
13:46And what do you think costs more?
13:50A simple thimble or a single shingle?
13:55A single shingle.
13:57A simple thimble could cost less than a single shingle would, I guess.
14:02So I think that the single shingle should
14:05cost more than the simple thimble would.
14:11Eat at Skipper Zip's.
14:14If you like to eat potato chips
14:16and chew pork chops on Clipper Zip's,
14:19I suggest that you chew a few chips and a chop
14:22at Skipper Zip's Clipper Ship Chip Chop Shop.
14:26And if your tongue is getting queasy, don't give up.
14:30The next one's easy.
14:34The Fudnudlers.
14:36There are so many things that you really should know,
14:40and that's why I'm bothering telling you so.
14:44You should know the first names of the Fudnudler brothers,
14:48who like to pile each on the heads of the others.
14:51You start at the top.
14:53There are Bipper and Bud,
14:55and Skipper and Jipper and Jeffrey and Jud.
14:59Horatio, Horace and Hendrix and Hud,
15:02and then come Dinwoodie and Dinty and Dud.
15:07Also, Fritz Simon and Frederick and Fud,
15:10and Slinky and Stinky and Stuart and Stud.
15:15And down at the bottom is poor little Lud.
15:19But if Lud ever sneezes,
15:22his name will be Mud.
15:28Quack Quack.
15:31We have two ducks, one blue, one black.
15:35And when our blue duck goes quack quack,
15:39our black duck quickly quack quacks back.
15:43The quack's blue quacks make her quite a quacker.
15:47But black is a quicker quacker backer.
15:52And speaking of quacks,
15:55reminds me of cracks and stacks and sacks and shacks and shnacks.
16:02So, oh say can you say,
16:06I have cracks in my shack,
16:09I have smoke in my stack,
16:12and I think there's a shnack in the sack on my back.
16:17West Beast, East Beast.
16:20Upon an island hard to reach,
16:23the East Beast sits upon his beach.
16:27Upon the West Beach sits the West Beast.
16:30Each Beach Beast thinks he's the best beast.
16:35Which beast is best?
16:38Well, I thought at first,
16:40that the East was best and the West was worse.
16:46Then I looked again from the West to the East,
16:51and I liked the beast on the East Beach least.
16:57Pete Pats Pigs.
17:01Pete Briggs Pats Pigs.
17:04Briggs Pats Pink Pigs.
17:07Briggs Pats Big Pigs.
17:10Don't ask me why, it doesn't matter.
17:13Pete Briggs is a Pink Pig Big Pig Patter.
17:17Pete Briggs Pats his Big Pink Pigs all day.
17:21Don't ask me why, I cannot say.
17:25Then Pete puts his Patted Pigs away
17:28in his Pete Briggs Pink Pigs Big Pigs Pig Pen.
17:35Fritz Food, Fred Food.
17:39Fritz needs Fred, and Fred needs Fritz.
17:46Fritz feeds Fred, and Fred feeds Fritz.
17:53Fritz feeds Fritz with Ritzy Fred Food.
17:58Fritz feeds Fred with Ritzy Fritz Food.
18:02And Fritz, when fed, has often said,
18:07I'm a Fred fed Fritz.
18:10Fred's a Fritz fed Fred.
18:15How to tell a Klotz from a Glotz.
18:19Well, a Glotz, you will notice, has lots of black spots.
18:24The Klotz is quite different, with lots of black dots.
18:29But the big problem is that the spots on a Glotz
18:33are about the same size as the dots on a Klotz.
18:38So you first have to spot who the one with the dots is.
18:42Then it's easy to tell who the Klotz or the Glotz is.
18:49What would you rather be when you grow up?
18:54A cop in a cop's cap?
18:57Or a cupcake cook in a cupcake cook's cap?
19:03Or a fat flapjack flapper in a flat flapped jack cap?
19:09Or, if you think you don't like cop's caps,
19:13flapjack flappers, or cupcake cook's caps,
19:17maybe you're one of those choosy chaps
19:21who likes kooky captain's caps, perhaps.
19:27More about Blinn.
19:30Well, when Blinn comes home tired from his work-pinning shins,
19:35the happiest hour of old Blinn's day begins.
19:39Mr. Blinn is the father of musical twins
19:43who, tucking twin instruments under twin chins,
19:47lull their daddy to sleep with twin Blinn violins.
19:53And, oh, say can you say,
19:59far away in Berlin,
20:01a musical urchin named Gretchen von Schwinn
20:05has a blue-footed, true-footed, trick-fingered, slick-fingered,
20:09six-fingered, six-stringed, ten-schwin mandolin.
20:15Rope Soap, Hoop Soap.
20:17Rope Soap, Hoop Soap.
20:21If you hope to wash soup off a rope,
20:24simply scrub it with Scrope.
20:27Scrope is so strong that no rope is too long.
20:33But if you should wish to wash soup off a hoop,
20:37I suggest that it's best to let your whole silly soup tub hoop soak in
20:42Soapy Cooper's Super Soup Off Hoop Soak Suds.
20:47Merry Christmas Mush
20:50One year we had a Christmas brunch
20:53with Merry Christmas Mush to Munch.
20:57But I don't think you'd care for such.
21:00We didn't like to munch, munch, munch.
21:05And speaking of Christmas,
21:07here are some great gifts to give to your daddy.
21:11If your daddy's name is Jim,
21:13and if Jim swims,
21:15and if Jim's slim,
21:17the perfect Christmas gift for him
21:19is a set of Slim Jim swim fins.
21:25But if your daddy's name is Dwight,
21:27and he likes to look at birds at night,
21:30the gift for Dwight that might be right
21:32is a bright Dwight Bird Flight Night Sight Light.
21:38But never give your daddy a walrus.
21:42A walrus with whiskers is not a good pet.
21:46And a walrus which whispers is worse even yet.
21:51When a walrus lists whispers through tough, rough, wet whiskers,
21:56your poor daddy's ear will get blispers and bliskers.
22:03And that's almost enough of such stuff for one day.
22:07One more and you're finished.
22:09Oh, say, can you say,
22:12The storm starts when the drops start dropping.
22:16When the drops stop dropping,
22:19then the storm starts stopping.

25:37Marvin K. Mooney, will you please go now?
25:44I said go, and go I meant.
25:51The time had come.
25:54So, Marvin went.
26:06Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
26:11Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
26:16Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
26:21Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
26:26Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
26:31Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
26:36Marvin K. Mooney, I don't care how.
