Dr. Seuss First Edition Books

Beginner Book Dust Jacket Back 'I' lists all twenty-five books that were being published in 1962 for the Beginner Book franchise. While this DJ back is found on only the first edition B-25 Robert The Rose Horse, it was used for most of 1962 on the earlier Beginner Books.

The publisher is 'BEGINNER BOOKS', 'A DIVISION OF RANDOM HOUSE', following the late-1960 acquistion of Beginner Books by Random House.


See Beginner Books Dust Jacket Backs to see the publishing sequence of dust jackets from 1957-to-1967. This is the primary resource to identify the year of publication if you own a later edition Beginner Book.
