Hay Un Molillo En Mi Bolsillo! / There's a Wocket in My Pocket!
En esta clásica fiesta de la imaginación, las criaturas absurdas y el lenguaje juguetón deleitarán a los lectores de la misma manera que un niño lo hace al descubrir rincones y grietas en su casa. La traducción hábil y rítmica mantiene toda la gracia del original, al tiempo que refuerza el vocabulario hogareño de los lectores más pequeños.

I think this one was my fave for awhile. The made up words were fun.
There is no introduction needed for Dr. Seuss books. There’s a Wocket in my Pocket is a picture book relating to the controlled vocabulary genre. A young boy visits different rooms in his house to find crazy-looking creatures, some of which he could do without and others of which he likes, hiding under rugs, inside cabinets and up the entire set of stairs. The boy happily invites the “friendly†creatures to stay in his house and hopes to never have them leave.

Another favorite Dr. Suess book. This was my sister Mandy's favorite. We read this book so much we split the binding on it. It was a classic go to. We loved books as kids that has a ryhming rhythm and silliness to it. We would recite these to each other. I could not recite this whole book right now, but certainly large portions of it due to the fact that we would sing these silly rhymes to each other. There was a lot of reading that went on in our house. We read this our loud to each other about...more
Well my nephew loves it, so good enough for me! Like other Dr Seuss books, wonderful to read aloud.
This book is about all of the different make believe animals that this kid has in his house. This shows that kids should have an imagination because it will better them throughout their lives to become more creative. Instead of this kid listening to what people are saying about all of these hidden animals in his house not being there, he choses to embarrass them. This book also shows that you should do what makes you happy and not listen to what other people think you should do, just be yourself...more
As is typical for Dr. Seuss, this book combines simple rhymes with nonsense.
There is great value for young readers in reading nonsense words. It teaches them to quickly and automatically sound out words they have never seen before. And there's not much plot. This, too, is an advantage - when you're struggling to read you're likely to lose track of what you've read by the end of the sentence. If you have to think back three pages for everything to make sense, well, that's frustrating!...more

i have read it and also read it many times to my sister -- she loves this book
Chloe's current fave. Wocket pocket? wocket pocket?
Students love this book because of all the silly, made up words that Dr. Seuss has written! When reading this book outloud, you are guaranteed to make your children laugh out loud! This book is wonderful for teaching rhyming or even letter sounds, because each rhyming words has so many different rhymes associated with it. Even students that are older and can read will like to read this book, because it is full of made up words that they are not reading on an everyday basis. This is definitely in...more
I LOVE THIS BOOK! This book explores real words as well as made up words and rhymes them. It is a great way for children to visualize rhyming and word families and all of the fun that can come out of this area of learning.
Activities:
- Create word families in small groups, main purpose is the sounds of the words, at this beginning level of rhyming the realness of the words isn't the purpose of the lesson.
- When further along in the rhyming learning, pair students up a...more

By far my favorite Seuss book.
“There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!†is truly a brilliant book from the creative mind of Dr. Seuss and it is about how a young boy tells the audience about the strange yet fun-loving creatures that live in a young boy’s house. “There’s a Wocket in my Pocket!†is definitely one of the greatest books about rhyming ever written!

I agree that the made up words were fun. I think that helps promote and challenge creativity. I like that the book had some negative aspects to discuss in a fun, childish way. Fear of the dark, the bofa on the sofa, Grumpy, mean people, the yottle in the bottle. It shows kids that it's okay do express those fears and deal with them.
Dr. Seuss brought me great comfort and joy during my childhood. I'll be forever grateful for the love and compassion he expressed through each book.

I've got mad love for Dr. Seuss. I like most of the books by him I've read (That's really not that many. It's like 7). This book- I dunno. I had mixed feelings. I really wanted to like this book more than I did. It was okay. Unique like all of Dr. Seuss's books, but I just didn't feel like a great connection with this book. (As you can probably tell) I am having trouble explaining my feelings about this book. I liked it, and it was cute- I just like his other books better.
My 20-month old has loved this Seuss for several months now. He loves pointing at the pictures - for some reason, especially the furnace in the basement - and "telling" us about them. As he asks for it at least 2-4 times a day, it is good that both of his parents like it too. It has a nice rhythm, fun pictures, and an imaginative concept. In fact, it is my favorite of Seuss's toddler books.
This is my all time favorite Dr. Seuss book. I still have the copy that was given to me for my 2nd birthday...that makes it about 35 years old. The cover has been chewed on a few times and the binding is taped together with duct tape so the pages won't fall out, but I LOVE it just as much today as I did when I was a child. Can't wait to read it to my grandchildren someday!!!
A short story about a boy making his way through his home, telling the audience about these crazy wacky things he comes across in his home.
I’d recommend this for young children between the K-3rd grade levels. Whether for independent read or read aloud. Great introduction to rhyming. Helps kids with forming and understanding the sounds of letters and words.

There's Wocket in My Pocket, is my all time favorite Dr. Seuss book. This book is great for Pre Kindergarten students but is also wonderful for any age. So many activities can incorporate this story while learning rhyming words. It is also fun for children to find where all the silly creatures are hiding in the illustrations. Wow, I love this book!
I love this book! It is the cutest! It is fun because it has lots of rhyming words and it is great for little children. My baby cousin loves to have us read it to her! Dr.seuss is my favorite author so far in my life. I am glad that I have read this book and I reccomend it for small children and second language people who are just learning English.

When I was small, I find that the illustration in Dr Seuss books are quite disturbing and frightening! I could not understand how the others enjoyed his books.
Now that I am a mother and at a much older age, I find this book amusing with its ridiculous rhyming of words and the illustration seems weird and funny at the same time

One of my all time favorites... my grandmother would read this book to me as a child and now I read it to my daughter all the time. It's another amazing book from Dr. Seuss who just really knew how to create wonderful children's books. The rhyming and characters are so cute and silly. Very fun for kids and adults as well.
I know it's supposed to just be a fun read for kids to learn about rhyming. But all of these fantastical names for fantastical creatures are not the words I want my children learning when they're first developing their language skills. I'd rather they learn real rhymes - Fox in Socks at least has that going for it!
There's a Wocket in My Pocket is by far one of my favorite children's' book ever! I love reading it out loud to students and seeing their reaction to all the crazy words they hear. It's a great story that sparks creativity and word play with your children, and the illustrations are classic Dr. Seuss! A true classic.
This book is a very entertaining book because it has a silly story plot and is full of rhyming words. I'm sure any child would enjoy this book. This book would be great to read aloud and include in any teacher's classroom library. This book would ideal to build phonemical awareness for students in your classroom.
I just love to read silly books and I think this book is the epitome of that because I laugh every time I read it. The pictures just add to the funniness. I would use this book to help students with recognition of rhyming words challenge them to create a silly rhyming story just like this one. Great read!
I love how Dr.Seuss creatively uses rhyming words for all of the creatures that live throughout the house. Some are nice and welcomed while others are a little grumpy. I love to have the students create the own creatures after reading this book by filling in the sentence "There's a ___ in My Pocket".
This Dr. Suess book is great for teaching rhyming, word play, or letter/sound recognition. I loved this book and have read it to my Kindergarten class and they loved it. It is great to show kids the many possibilities that you have when writing. The illustrations are very engaging as well.
Some pretty typical Seussian "ridiculous rhymes" here. Par for the course. Recommended. And probably the first published appearance of the word "Zillow". Anyone know if that's where the real estate mash-up guys got their name? Anyway, keep that Nooth Grush off your tooth brush.
I think I made my parents read this to me so many times as a kid I can still recite the entire thing, with the findow on the window and the tellar and the yellar and zellar in the cellar! I definitely think this is one of Dr. Seuss' best books that does not get enough credit!
