He found the rhymes very interesting. Overall i am glad i could get such a book for my kid. I bought this book for my 2yr old son and in a single sitting he could listen to the whole book read aloud to him. He quickly caught on to the phrases - that bump made us jump (and will jump saying that), what a shame (and will laugh saying this), loved the thing1 and thing2 :).
Dr. It is simple, yet mesmerizing. It is a must read, and I will read it many more times to my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I can't count the times that I have read this old standby to my children. They are grown now, but never seemed to get enough of it when they were little. Seuss sure got it right when he created this classic.
And Spot. Then one day I got my hands on The Cat in the Hat and reading changed for me forever.
Seuss as a kid, and as a parent, of course I shared all his books with my own children. In short, magical.
It became fun, lively and whimsical. I couldn't read enough Dr.
I learned to read with the dull and predictable Dick, Jane and Sally books. I mustn't forget Spot.
And that's how it's been for me ever since.
Across the board it is a good way to get your kids interested in a series of books rather than one or two favorites. Seuss he wants to read it. Even the 3 year old has come to recognize the brand and anywhere he sees Dr. Some of these books get rather long and the kids are not intimidated by it because they know they will enjoy it. We've has this and other Dr. Seuss books since I was a kid, but watching my kids with these books is a very different experience. My six year old looks for the books for his reading assignments.
I must have read this book over a hundred times. I use to be able to say the entire book outloud from memory. This was my favorite book up untill about the age of 13. When I wasn't studying for school, I was reading this book.
