Rating:  Summary: Great Book Review: My two year old really loves this book. It is a rhyming book that introduces smaller words for younger children. I like this book and best of all my child likes it.
Rating:  Summary: The greatest childrens book of all time!! Review: This was my favorite when I was a child, and I can happily recall my mother so sick and tired of reading this book to me, that she actually tried skipping a page or two. But I always caught her, and made her go back and read it!!Now, I read it to my kids... it doesn't help get them to sleep though. In fact, it only gets them more and more excited and silly. But it's a family favorite, and I'm sure it will be a family favorite for your child. What educational value does it have for children?? Well, it does help teach children to rhyme. The silly rhymes of the story, encourage the children to start making up their own. And it's all in fun!!
Rating:  Summary: A Favorite Review: My two-year old loves this book! In fact, from time to time, this book gets "lost" just to give the readers in the house a break! I've had to read it five times in one day!! But, it is a great book and fun for adults and kids.
Rating:  Summary: Great for babies Review: I grew up with this book and now my nine month old loves it too. the text is very rhythmic, as you would expect from Dr. Seuss. The illustrations are composed of heavy black lines and bright solid colors, making it easy for an infant to see. The text is arranged creatively around the page, adding to the visual interest and also helping the beginning reader to relate the pictures to the words. As a biologist, I interpret the central theme of the book as playing off biological diversity (Some have two feet and some have four. Some have six feet and some have more . . .), and expanding the idea to include the diversity of people and human pursuits. The fitness craze, furniture design, and silly kitchen gadgets are all covered in the brief and funny vignettes. The one limitation of the book is that there are some stereotypical differences between the interests of the boy and girl, and it is somewhat lacking in ethnic diversity. But hey, it was written in 1960. It also would be great if it had a board book edition, since it is hard to keep the little guy from crinkling the pages.

Rating:  Summary: A Unique Violation of the Prime Directive. Review: I'll never forget the day I read this book to a group of first-graders in a remote Inuit village 500 air-miles west of Anchorage, Alaska. Confused the heck out of the kids. Their English was, I think, more or less up to comprehending the book but they couldn't figure out why I was holding it up and talking it at them. Then I got to this part: "In our house we open cans. We have to open many cans. And that is why we have a Zans." And it goes on: "A Zans for cans is very good. Have you a Zans for cans? You SHOULD." I'll never forget the dismay with which they stared at me in response to that declaration of their inadequacy and innate poverty.
Rating:  Summary: "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" Review: This book is good for people of all age's. IT has been around for many years bringing joy to all families . It can be read on all levels. The First level is childern. Most kids see this as a fun filed book with funny pictuers and tounge twister's. The second level is adults. If a adult were to pick it appart the would say it was talking about differnt culters and ethnicity's and how we should all be treated equal. So This is a good book because people of all age's enjoy it.
Rating:  Summary: IF YOU WISH TO WISH A WISH Review: . At least two generations of parents and their children have now been immersed in the wonderful world of Dr Suess. The fun filled fantasy world of Dr Suess has lost none of its charm. "One Fish Two Fish" is one of his best. The theme of this book is "funny things are everywhere". Dr Suess goes on to prove this by introducing a long list of fantastic but friendly characters. The creatures are at times outrageous looking but they are never frightening. There is no chance of monster-phobia developing in children after reading these books. Anything is possible in this book. You have to love the seven hump Wump with its eight legs. It bears an uncanny resemblance to a camel. Children will get to love the rhyme and rhythms of the words in this book. Children will be encouraged to make their own word play. It is possible new skills in creative thinking and even musical aptitude may emerge in children after having fun in the Suess world. On thing is for sure, a love of reading will certainly be encouraged. Spatial thinking is encouraged with humorous signposts to Near and Far, and Here and There. Young minds will adore taking the advice "if you wish to wish a wish". "One fish two fish" makes a great bedtime book. It is long enough and exhausting enough to pacify the most agile young mind. They can go off to dream land pondering "did you ever fly a kite in bed" and then "curl up with your Pet Zeep".
