ABOUT

Meet a friendly robot who can transport you to the world of books! Part of the new Seuss Studios line of Beginner Books inspired by never-before-seen sketches by Dr. Seuss, this fun-fueled story celebrates the power of reading.

Hello, I am BLIP!
I can take you on a trip.
Just put a book into this slot,
then turn this wheel.
Here's the sitting spot!

Two siblings are stuck inside on a rainy day, but a trip to their local library turns into their greatest adventure ever when they meet BLIP—a shiny yellow machine that transports them to the location of any book... 

They float in the sea! Soar into space! Explore the age of dinosaurs! When it's time to go home, BLIP leaves them with a few books to remember him by—and a newfound love of reading.  

Jerrard Polk's rhyming text and imaginative 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!

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
