Read in January, 1979
This is the first book I ever read out loud to my mom by myself. Because of this, it will always have a special place in my heart. We had just moved to Illinois. I was 4 1/2. I kept asking my mom to read to me, but she was busy unpacking boxes. She said, "Sound out the words, just like I showed you, and you can do it yourself."
So in my determined little way I said, "Fine." Later that afternoon, I read it to her. She was shocked. She kept grabbing books off the shelf to test...more

Often requested at bedtime. Sometimes I wonder if it's because it's so long. Occasionally when I'm trying to hurry up bedtime, I skip several of the sections in the back with no negative effect. All the "poems" are one or 2 pages, except the beginning one about fish, so this is easily accomplished (at least for an unsuspecting 2 y/o). This isn't as fun to read as Green eggs and ham and not what I had remembered from childhood, but he likes it, which I can't argue with.

My son did not really get into this book until he was about 13 months old, but now we read it at least twice a day, if not more. It's great because you can open it on any page and start reading there. There is no need to start at the beginning. We're goin to get a new one soon, since the soft pages do not respond well to rough toddler handling. So, "if you like to go Bump! Bump!, get on the hump of the wump of Gump!"(one of our favorites)

What learned from this book:
Every day,
from here to there,
funny things are everywhere.
My favorite Dr. Suess, probably because it has the most whimsical rhymes (and that's saying something, obviously). I never read it myself as a child, but remember being unable to get through reading it with to my own daughter because I was laughing so hard ("we will take him home/we will call him Clark" completely did me in).

This one is just way too advanced for me. It's not a board book, and I don't have it memorized (YOU try it! it's a challenge let me tell you) so I'm embarrassed to trip up on it in front of the baby. If I hold it close enough to actually be able to read it, he tries to rip the pages. Disaster all around, so far. But I'll have to revisit this review when we've both matured a bit.

This Seuss book intrigued me and is one of the only ones where the rhyming wasn't annoying to me - perhaps it was because the sentences were a bit shorter - I like the challenge of the fantastic propositions, which probably grew my sense of the ridiculous, the possible and the abstract, and how things might be if I tried some of them - entertaining!

preschool children
I tracked this Dr. Seuss title down because it was recommended for children going to preschool to help them prepare. My 4 years thought that the sheep were the best part of the book. It was confusing to read but I guess the way the words roll off the tongue and trip up mommy's and daddy's makes the book a favorite.

This was one of the first books I read by myself when it first came out in 1960 when I was 6. It was my favorite Dr. Seuss book when I was a kid. (This was before many other Seuss books were published.)

I vividly remember reading this as a child, and how much I loved it. I read it over and over, and it's first book that I really remember reading at home by myself (I can remember first reading out loud to a teacher at school around the time I turned 4). The strange creatures still amuse me.

It changes gears after the first few pages, but ends up being a really funny story about a sister and brother and their search for fun times with wacky creatures. My favorite: the one that starts "Look what we found/In the park/In the dark/We will take him home/We will call him Clark."

kids
Kinda redundant. I liked it as a kid, but it's kind of boring now. There's a blue fish. And a red fish. And a purple fish. And a crimson fish. Nice.
But if I remember right, some of the stuff in the middle is kind of fun- but I haven't read it in a long time.

people who like to do voices when they read aloud
A great read-aloud for doing funny voices. And it has a great message as well: "From near to far, from far to near, funny things are everywhere." Everyone should take a little time to enjoy the absurd, and where better to start than with Dr. Seuss?

This last time that we read this is I think the first time we have been able to make it all the way through. My son has a stuffed blue-fish and eveytime that it is mentioned or seen in the book I had him give it a hug. It made a fun little game before bed.

young children learning to read
Let's face it this book is just to introduce words to children, but what a clever way to do it. This illustrations enhance every lesson. It's just plain fun. Almost everyone knows the phrase: One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish

Who doesn't like Dr. Suess books? They're so good! Great for young kids or others that feel like kicking back and reading a nice children's book. I remember reading this book along with many other Dr. Suess books when I was little.

i know everyone will probably hate me for not liking this but it is a pain to read to your child - a bunch of nonsense words rhyming does not always entertain - and in this case neither me or caroline were entertained.

Anyone!
This book changed the course of my life. I didn't know how to count or tell the difference between colors until Seuss opened my eyes. A must-read for anyone between the tumultuous ages of 4 and 6.

I have always known the beginning of the book, but recently as I have paid closer attention to the rest of the book - I have decided it is NOT my favorite Dr. Seuss book, but I still love the rhyming!
