Summary: excelent
Review: This book is extremly GREAT!!! This book teaches kids to read even better and helps anoy thier parents with thier ryming. The book basicaly it takes two to three words that ryme and takes and puts it in to a sentence that kind of makes sence yet some times untrue. Yet it is still a great book. Also it teaches, some times, kids when something is in, out, on, or under. it is a great book no matter how you rate it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful masterpiece for children and adults alike.
Review: This book is great for building vocabulary in children. Also adults can utilize Dr. Seuss books for a good quality time with their children. Excellent!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Reading Made Easy
Review: This book is obviously for children just learning how to read. This would be a good book for beginners because they use simple words all through out the book and they use them over and over again. This is not a book made to have a plot. It seems to be made to help children to learn to read better. The words rhyming also helps I think. This was my favorite book as a kid.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Delightfully silly
Review: This book is terrific. A carefully controlled early reading book, where repition and rhyming words are skillfully employed. But it is not a dry reader....it is full of the usual Suess silliness.

And best of all, for the English or Australian reader, it avoids the "zee" for "zed" conundrum.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rhyming, Syntax, Humor, Reading and Improved Abs for Dad
Review: This book was a favorite of our four children, especially in helping them realize that they might like to hop on Pop (which they did as much as Pop would let them). This book has really stayed with me, and I was interested to analyze why it is so appealing and effective.

What I discovered upon rereading it today is that the book packs a whallop in terms of providing learning opportunities for children. Long before Sesame Street was a staple for youngsters, this book picked up on some of the same learning techniques.

For example, you start with two rhyming words. The only difference may be one consonant (hop and Pop). This helps a child learn to read by seeing the role that a letter plays. Then the book uses the two words together to form a sentence, and puts an illustration in the reinforce the syntax (the difference between a house on a mouse, and a mouse on a house). After the simple syntax lessons are done, it goes on to give the child more rhymes and more complex sentences. "We like to hop on top of Pop." Here are where Dad's abs come in. The illustration shows how to hop on Pop without hurting him. Also, the book says not to, which will help Pop and the child learn that the subconscious in all people and all children pay no attention to negatives in sentences. So what is captured is an imperative to hop on Pop.

The story builds to a crescendo by letting the child know that there is more to learn. Children can learn small words like "if and it" while Father knows long words like "Constantinople and Timbuktu." The child is given a little quiz at the end about "seehemewe" and so forth and is given the hint that learning can continue tomorrow.

Also, this book provided me more pleasure in being a Father than any other that I read to and with my children. So if you are a Father, get with it. If you want to encourage a Father to be with his children more, get this book to him.

Overcome your stalled thinking about the limits of what can be learned by small children from an introductory reader by using this masterpiece!

. . . and practice tightening your abs!

Summary: Wonderful book for children and adults alike.
Review: This excellent book helps build vocabulary in children at a young age. Wonderful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funny and Pleasing to All
Review: This is a brilliant little book, and I highly recommend it to those who love great artwork and wonderful rhymes to read aloud or sing to your children. The story is wonderful as well. The word "hop" is rhymed with a number of other words, and when they get to hop on pop, there is no antagonism from Pop about this all. A great book for all!!!

Rating: 5 stars
