Summary: Wocket in My Pocket
Review: "Did you ever have the feeling there's a WASKET in your BASKET?" Well this little boy did. This wonderful story is about a little boy and all the things he discovers in his house. There are tons of different creatures made up in the mind of Dr. Seuss. This books crazy rhyming patterns will have your child's full attention. There's just something about rhyming stories that children love.
I would recommend this story to anyone but mainly children from ages 3-9. I am almost positive they would love it. How do I know this? I know this because this has been one of my favorite books ever since I was a little tike. Any adult would love this story also. It's a fun book to read to little ones, I know because I read it to my cousins and they love it!! I would highly recommend you purchase this book or rent from the library. Although it would be smarter to buy it, because "it's a keeper!"

Summary: Having a wocket in your pocket...
Review: ...sounds like a recipe for disaster.

This book is loaded with shifty characters, Zugs that hide under rugs. It's hard not to wonder if this book isn't planting some seeds toward developing the conspriacy theorist of the future. For example, this Zall that zips down the hall what is it that enables him to move at such astounding speeds?? Some kind of "government program". Why is the Zofa on the sofa such an undesirable, he's just reading and eating candies? What is he up to that inspires such dislike.

This book alludes to but then fails to uncover some big issues, perhaps leading to conversations between you and your young conspiracy theorist. The truth is out there.

Summary: Put a grin on your chin with a wocket in my pocket...
Review: Dr. Seuss has delighted children for generations with his bright, imaginative illustrations and playful, rhyming verse... but "There's a Wocket in my pocket" remains a king among nobility, a diamond among gems. Every page features deliciously whimsical creatures that made me laugh out loud when I was little. Okay, okay... this really isn't the "novel of the century", but it's definitely a bona fide masterpiece for Children! (The other great one, in my opinion, is "Did I ever tell you how lucky you are?") Who, as a child, didn't spend hours looking at Seussian sketches and projecting oneself into those deceivingly simple alien landscapes? Seuss is amazing, true genius. From dark and eerie desolate plains of hanging clothes lines and swamps of green goo, to busy market-places full of delightful monsters, Seuss knows intimately what appeals to kids!

Summary: The Seussian imagination unleashed!
Review: Dr. Seuss' best books tend to have a touch of fantasy (or light-hearted science fiction) to them, and "There's a Wocket in My Pocket!" falls into that category. In this book of simple rhymes, the narrator introduces the reader to the gallery of weird creatures that share his home. There's no plot, but there are Seussian creatures galore.

Beginning with the Wocket of the cover, each creature favors a habitat that conveniently rhymes with its name. Example: "And that Zelf up on that shelf! / I have talked to him myself." The creatures include the pink-and-yellow striped Zlock, the cantankerous Yottle, the creepy Vug, the gravity-defying Geeling, and many others. As always, Seuss' colorful artwork is rich in whimsical details.

The narrator loves his home and its weird inhabitants. The book thus seems to have the message that it's OK to be different, or to come from a home that others might find odd. And that's a lesson I like! So enjoy the book, and don't be surprised if you find a "Ghair" under your chair.

Summary: Dr. Seuss is loose! His rhymes are overflowing ...
Review: His rhymes are overflowing in this very entertaining book. Some are ridiculous, others are fun. One thing is for certain though, it does expand a child's vocabulary. I noticed that when my toddler and I read other Dr. Seuss works (like Hop On Pop, Yertle The Turtle, ...Mulberry Street). We have the small board book version which is great to take along in the car and also small enough to take to restuarants. If there's a long wait for our order, we just read the book. And my, oh my -- how time flies!

Summary: Too nonsensical even for Dr. Seuss
Review: I bought the board book for my 1 year old, but when because he is still trying to identify what is a horse, a cow, a chicken, etc. these pictures and nonsensical words just add confusion. I suppose this book may be good for phonetics exercises at an older age, but I don't really see the humor in it. MUCH better Seuss books are Mr. Brown Can Moo, Can You? and Dr. Seuss's ABC.

Summary: WONDERFUL!!
Review: I can remember the first time I read this was when I was 8 years old. I was in the waiting room at the dentist's office. The whole time I was in the dentist's chair all I could think of was that wocket in the pocket, and I still to this day remember it. I am now 27 years old, but contrary to popular opinion, I don't think anyone is too old to enjoy Dr. Seuss. He is a legend that will be in my family forever. I hope that one day I have kids so I can share the wonderful imagination of Dr. Seuss that I was able to experience at a young age.
