“HOP ON POP”
by Gerard C. Smith
Come "Hop on Pop," my Lisa said
And hop of course is what she did
Her brother joined in with a jump
On Poppa’s tum he went crash-bump
Lisa hopped and hopped some more
She knocked poor Poppa to the floor
Both kids did bounce, each up and down
Poor Pop was trounced and he did frown
Now he hates that bastard T. Geisel
And hopes the rotter roasts in hell

Call me old fashioned but I think that there is far too much pop hopping going on in America these days. It's disgusting and then they turn around and turn it into a children's book. What's next? Leaving a cat alone with two unsupervised children? An elephant wedging an egg in his butt? A fox wearing human undergarments? Oobleck? That just has to be filthy. Where does it end?

It just didn't do it for me--no character development, no irony, to existential angst, it was almost like a children's book.

I have a funny story about a friend and this book.
A friend of mine told me that in 8th grade she was assigned the task of writing a book report. My friend noted that the teacher said nothing about the length or level of the book and took full advantage. She chose Hop on Pop. The best part is that she made her book report about parental abuse....

An ambitious exploration of social dexterity, "Hop on Pop" may be the most important book of our time. Rather than viewing Pop-hopping as rude or cruel, Seuss argues that it is a delightful, possibly necessary act.
"Hop on Pop" is the most important, timely book you will ever read. Now excuse me, I've got to find my Pop.

My daughter and I had a great time with this book when she was in the very first stages of learning to read. This is probably one of the easiest of of the Dr. Seuss books. We laughed the most when we decided to say all of the words using the wrong vowel sounds e.g. "Hope on Pope" :)

this is the first book I ever read. I remember specifically stopping at the last page, which contains four lines *in a row* and then I remember distinctly getting through those lines to achieve my crowning glory as a new reader: one book finished.

I am currently reading this book. And I'll be reading it again in 5 minutes. And 10 minutes after that. It is my daughter's favorite book. A special thanks to Dr. Seuss for making this book tolerable to read over and over.

Hop on Pop was just another one of those Dr. Seuss books that are just fun to read. Hop on Pop is just a fun book to read. They're bouncing all over the place including their dad, hints the title Hop On Pop!

I think he'd sold out a bit with this offering...still, hard to deny the universal message, we've all had a Pop and most of us have had an occasion to hop on him.Worthy effort!

Probably one of the first books I remember reading. Love the part about Constantinople and Timbuktu. My 21-month-old son, James, picks this every night.

I read this to my 2-year-old (the hardback version of course, or by now his brother would've eaten it) at least once a day. He can't get enough of it!

I am resisting the urge to start in typing the book out here and now. What an incredible fun life affirming book. There is nothing like it.

Love the cover, incredibly easy read aloud, a little too simplistic to please the adult reader, but my son enjoys listening to me rhyme.
