A girl who stacks everything must prove her quirky talent can save the day when penguins are in peril.
Gertrude Gish can stack anything, anywhere, but her quirky talent annoys the town. When the mayor's penguins get stuck in a tree, only Gertrude's unique skill can save them. Will her daring rescue change how people see her? Discover how one girl's unusual gift becomes a heroic act in this charming tale of individuality and acceptance.
Meet Gertrude Gish, who can stack just about anything! Part of the new Seuss Studios line of Beginner Books inspired by never-before-seen sketches by Dr. Seuss, this playful story by Sarah Hwang celebrates individuality and using our unique talents for the greater good. Gertrude stacks. Then with a hop, Gertrude stacks herself on top! Gertrude Gish stacks things here…there…and everywhere. She stacks her brother’s drumstick dinner, she stacks books at school, and–when a parade comes to her town–she stacks the whole parade! Everyone in town has had enough of Gertrude’s quirky pastime. But when the mayor’s penguins are stuck in a tree and Gertrude comes to the rescue, will her heroic deed make people see her–and her unique skill–in a different light? Sarah Hwang’s rhythmic text and sweet, funny illustrations make this the perfect story for any beginning reader! Seuss Studios is a new line of Beginner Books with original stories and art from emerging authors and illustrators. Every Seuss Studios story was inspired by never-before seen sketches from the Dr. Seuss archives, which you can find in the back of each book! Launched by Dr. Seuss in 1957 with the publication of The Cat in the Hat, Beginner Books make learning to read FUN!
