Gertrude Gish stacks with flair, from dinners to books and the whole parade square, and when penguins get stuck up in a tree, she can show how helpful her stacking can be.

Book Synopsis

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!

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!
